I used to love going to feed the ducks when I was a kid! My Mom would take me to Weber State University once in awhile to feed the ducks so I decided my kids would love to do this--especially Ellie--she loves ducks right now. So--these were pretty smart ducks. We pulled up next to the pond where the ducks live, and before we even got out of the car, all of the ducks (probably at least 40) had surrounded our car waiting for us to get out.
We walked down the sidewalk to a little gazebo so we could maybe keep a little distance between us and the ducks. The ducks formed a line and followed us very closely down to the gazebo.
We threw our bread out to the ducks from the gazebo, but then a few ducks figured out they could walk around and come into the gazebo themselves. Before long we were surrounded in the gazebo.
Our bread didn't last long, the ducks were well fed, and the kids had fun. The ducks figured out we were out of bread, and they headed back to the water.
Successful trip to feed the ducks, but Kelsey has told me several times since, "Lets not go feed the ducks today." I think the brave ducks were a little much for her.

Feeding the ducks are so much fun! There is a little pond near our house and we go to feed the ducks often. As soon as we get close the leader ducks start quacking and calling the others and soon they all come swimming and flying. It's great. And so fun how smart they are! Looks like you all had fun! Your family will be so missed in KY!
Kelsey, I don't like those brave ducks either!!!!!
You kids will remember this for your lifetime just like your mom remembers me taking her to feed the ducks and my parents would also take me to the park to feed ducks. You will have to look for a duck family to Wash. DC to adopt!
