I will admit to Kylee influencing a little where we have been walking lately. She has been loving the pond with all the ducks. Whenever she hears that we are walking Douglas she starts quacking like a duck.
I don't think Douglas minds the adventure though. He gets to take a long walk around North Hampton and W. Braddock and then cuts through the nature trail. At the end, we stop at the pond to check on the ducks and two geese.
Douglas is definitely not afraid of the ducks, even when there are 20 or more swimming towards him. Today we decided to bring crackers along with us. Douglas loved how close the ducks would come when we had food for them.
The ducks however had some serious competition for those crackers. Douglas could barely contain himself from jumping into the pond for every cracker we threw. There was one that landed close to the edge of the pond and he tried to beat the duck to it. (The duck won.)
Here is a picture of Douglas ogling over the saltine goodness of the cracker. It was hilarious watching his optimism that one cracker would end up in his mouth by the end.
