Ducks

I'm a little behind with updates but I've been wanting to share this picture.  We live near a park with a small lake and there are always ducks on the beach.  One day Meredith was feeding the ducks leaves (I didn't have the heart to tell her that ducks don't eat leaves).  When we got home, I dried out a bunch of old bread for her to bring back the next time we were there to feed the ducks.  She loved it!  They come right up to you.  And I'm a horrible mom...I ignored the signs that said not to feed the ducks.  I did, however, make sure she didn't leave a bunch of bread crumbs floating in the water by only allowing her to throw one at a time and she had to wait until a duck ate it to throw another.  In some way, I felt that was redeeming for blatantly ignoring the sign.  Mer would have been heartbroken.

 Here's an action shot:
