Duck, Duck...Goose

After a hectic couple of days, we loaded Elly up in the bike trailer and made the trek to the Trinity River duck pond. We were all getting a little stir crazy locked up in the house with a sick baby! The adventure seemed like a great idea at the time, and we all enjoyed the outing...that is until it was time to head back. The ride down was a breeze. Down hill, past the zoo, with a content baby. The ride back...ALL up hill, through zoo traffic, with a sleepy baby! Every time Kris would hit a bump it was jostle her up and the screaming would start. By the time Little Love would calm down, Kris would hit another bump. It was a nightmare! We did make it home and look forward to our next trip...in the car!

Check out that hair! Sure is getting long :)


Snacks for Elly...then snacks for the ducks!


My little chipmunk!


Elly was quite annoyed by the obnoxious honking goose! When it would starting honking, she would stop whatever she was doing, turn that head around and give that goose one mean stink eye!

Cutie LOVES her cup with the straw. The way she holds it, the look on her face. If I could get into her mind while she sips away it would sound something like this..."Oh yeah, I'm a big girl! Oh yeah, I'm a big girl!"

There's that stinkin' goose again!
Duck time! Elly would throw a piece, eat a piece, throw a piece, eat a piece.
Unfortunately, the ducks had a big breakfast and could have cared less about their lunch. Oh well...maybe next time :)

wait until you come here...she'll never want to feed ducks again once she feeds the ones we have here that will try to eat her nose!

I actually thought about that as we were being snubbed by the ducks! I remember feeding them at your house!
