2 Families of 5!

Bless the souls of the innocent ducks of Winthrop Lake! These patient little birds don't ask for much. A big pond to swim in, nice weather so they can waddle around the bank and maybe an afternoon where some kind and caring person who happens to have some leftover bread comes to feed them an afternoon snack.

On our most recent trip to Winthrop Lake we were fortunate enough to meet another party of 5. A Bailey Bunch in duck form, if you will! Yes, Momma Duck, Daddy Duck, and 3 little ducklings! It must have been fate!

Wylie was so intrigued! She absolutely loved pulling out the bread crust and tossing it to them.

She followed right behind them always making sure they had some food!


She loved seeing them up close !


My dear Charlie was a little less interested in the ducks eating habits! He found chasing the ducks to be supreme fun! So with red frisbee in hand, Charlie chased ducks until his heart was content! All the while, chuckling from his belly!

Here, there and everywhere he ran!



While this is a bit wobbly, enjoy hearing (and seeing) Charlie's afternoon fun with our new duck friends! His run was cut short as Bubba watched him getting his feet a little too close to these innocent creatures and had to end the fun! Imagine that!
