For our last day in California, my sister had the idea of taking the kids to a lake that is on the outskirts of town. There is a quiet little alcove-type area where ducks tend to congregate, so we went armed with some leftover pancakes for the kids to throw to the ducks. And "Gampa" came along too!
It was a beautiful day: perfect weather - blue skies, warm (but not hot) sun, a light breeze. (Typing that sentence is extra torturous because our weather outside right now is: cold, overcast, gray skies, new snow on the ground from last night's storm!)
Audrey really enjoyed throwing the little pieces of pancake to the waiting ducks. Some of her throws weren't too far - there were a few brave ducks that risked going that close to shore for their treat, the more cautious ones simply waited until we were leaving to venture on shore to grab up the rest.

Ben and Hugh watched from the double stroller - Ben looked like he was more interested in swimming with the ducks than giving them food!
After feeding the ducks, since the weather was so nice, we decided to go for a little walk - true to form, Audrey shot out ahead of the rest...
only to race back toward the group - making Ben giggle and laugh. And then she'd do it all again... to the sheer delight of the boys... and us all.
Our whole trip was a lot of fun. We can't wait until next time!
