Quack, Quack, Quack!!!

Last week we went to the "Duck Pond" in Round Rock. We kept reading and hearing about it and thought we would take a bag of hotdog buns and Emma and go check it out. Travis and Emma on the look out for the duckies. There was a steep-ish slope to the water, so it was tough to get to the ducks that were around. Notice that Emma is ready to throw her bread in :)

There was one duck that stayed on this rock the entire time we were there. It was very strange...and YES, it was real :) Em could not throw that far out.

In fact...she could not throw out very far at all. Notice the bits of bread floating near her toes :)

Sooooo...after not much success at the duck pond, we decided to go to another pond near her sitter's house. It was MUCH better and gave Emma a better idea of what feeding the ducks should be.

This little guy (or girl) was soooooo stinkin' cute and running around trying to get bread with the big ducks...or as Emma called them---the mammas.

Emma got caught off guard when this duck came up and grabbed 1/2 of the hotdog bun from her fingers. Oops...she did not let it happen again!

Close encounters...I guess she was feeling pretty brave.

Ready...Set...Go!!!! Notice Travis in the background. He was rethinking putting the bag of buns on the ground. These ducks were hungry and sneaky!

The duck stand-off. Emma has the bread and all the power in this situation :)
