Duck, Duck, GOOSE!

Another first for Bubba...Ducks!  Since we are currently in a bird phase, it was sort of fate that during our picnic in the park a pair of ducks decided to join our party.  The best part was, they were obviously used to getting fed by humans because they let Owen chase them all over the park for a full 20 minutes without flying away.  They actually would have stayed longer, but Owen got tired.  There are not many things cuter than watching a toddler chase ducks. 

For any Marine Biologists who might be reading this, yes, we did feed them little bits of our tortillas - and that is probably against the wildlife rules - but we figured they needed some kind of reward for entertaining Owen.  He had a hard time feeding them, because he would throw the piece 2 inches from his feet in mid-sprint.  The ducks couldn't be tempted enough to backtrack into the line of fire.  But once he got tired enough, he did manage to throw one piece far enough for the little girl duck to get it.  First time feeding a duck - 20 months.

Steve managed to take a cell video of the chase.  Again, these video file converters online are causing me major damage.  This time, instead of a watermark, it's twice the speed.  But, it actually made me laugh this way, so I'm posting it.  Plus, you get to see the whole thing in half the time instead of me editing it!
