Feeding the Ducks

We went up to Beus' Pond for Family Night tonight.  We had a picnic, fed the ducks, then walked around the mini parkway.  Makayla had so much fun!

I had to take the opportunity to take some pictures.  It was like 85 degrees today!  I love this picture.  When Makayla sees a camera, she yells "cheese!" and pulls a face similar to this one.  I got a few normal ones, but this one just seemed to stand out.  I may just have to frame it and put it next to her bed.

I get so excited to get home a load my pictures onto the computer.  I will be so glad someday to have these precious moments.

 So here we are teaching the little stink bug how to properly feed the ducks.  She did okay in the beginning.  She threw the bread an entire twelve inches in front of her!

 She did a lot better when Daddy grabbed her as the geese and ducks got close.  She got a little nervous when they got a few inches away, especially when they would honk at her.

 I missed the moment, but they actually ate from her hand a few times.  She would get scared and then immediately excited.

 This is a great place for family pictures!  I think I will have to go back when we are all wearing better clothes and Makayla's hair is actually done.  There is some great scenery up there.

 Again with the "cheese!" face.  Good times.

 I don't know what this face is.

 I don't think any little girl loves her daddy as much as Makayla.  She just adores him.  Melts my heart :)

 This is Makayla giving Mommy 'monkey hugs'.  She basically holds onto your neck and squeezes as hard as she can.  She tends to make funny faces when she is doing it.  We had so much fun, and it was so nice to get outside in the nice weather.  However, if it is this hot in April, I am really worried for August....ahhhhh!
