Duck Pond

This morning my friend Amy and I took our kids to a local duck pond and playground to play and it was a huge success with the kids! Ben has never seen so many ducks in his life and since we brought some bread to feed to them, the ducks were swarming around us quacking and eating. The kids had a ball and were squealing and running all over the place. Of course Ben and Samantha had to be reminded not to eat the bread themselves!

Here are some cute photos from our visit. It's hard to tell in the photos since they are sort of dark, but my poor little man got his first shiner last night. I was horrified!! He was laughing and playing when all of a sudden he slipped and the corner of his toy nailed him right in the eye. He was hysterical and his right eye has the war wounds to prove it. After some ice and kisses, though, he seemed fine so it doesn't seem like any major injuries will be sustained....just a purple eye for the next week or so :(.
