John went to the Twin's game tonight with his dad on this perfect fall evening. And what better way for me to pass the time with two kids than to pack them both up in our stroller and go for a walk! Owen was getting fussy and the outdoors almost always cheers him up. See?
Megan insisted on walking alongside of me for one lap around the neighborhood and I was having a hard time getting her to keep up with me towards the end. So I asked her if she wanted to go to the close pond and look for ducks. Well, she had a great idea to not only see the ducks but to feed the ducks some bread! I was up for anything as long as it would keep us occupied and outside so I ran inside to get some hamburger buns that were several weeks old anyways. Megan carried the bag of buns all the way down to the pond telling everyone we passed that she was going to feed the ducks.
Well, when we got to the pond Megan tried so hard to believe that there were ducks at the very far end. Sorry, sweetie, none here. Not to worry though because we have another pond to check! This time she rode in the stroller because we had to cross a major road. I prayed the entire time that we would find ducks to feed because this little girl was so excited and I didn't want her hopes crushed.
But what did we find when we got to the second pond? Something waaaay better than ducks... a family of four GEESE!!! Even though none of the bread Megan threw actually made it into the water she loved watching them chow down on the pieces I threw in. And I thought they were fun to watch too as they mucked their way through the shallow water after the soggy bread.
Thank you, God, for a perfect fall evening!
