Feeding the ducks

On Friday afternoon Bobby and I took Gia to the pond.  Our local university has a large pond with a lot of ducks, and it's so beautiful there and rarely crowed.  Gia loves to watch the ducks, but she wants to be near mama or daddy when they get close.  We had some bread that I let get hard and then froze.  It was a little bit too hard, though, because I didn't let it defrost before we went to the pond.  Oh well, the ducks ate it anyway.

Bobby and I threw most of the bread, but towards the end we let Gia lean over the water and drop a few pieces in.  And that's all she could do... drop it.  Or at least that's all she wanted to do.

It was a gorgeous day, which is such a relief after a long, cold, snow-filled winter!  We have all been eagerly waiting for Spring, and it seems like it's finally here!  I look forward to more days like this, especially as Gia is into the toddler stage and learning so much.

For the record, Gia is a little sister to Nola.  It was a hand-me-down shirt that was just too cute to pass up :o)

Gia had such a good time running up and down the hill.  She even got brave at the end of our time and wanted to lean over the water and get close to the ducks!

This one is my favorite.  My husband is hilarious.  And yes, he had a good grasp on her and she was happy as could be.
