the lake...

We went to Lake Murray today. We walked around and "found" the lake. As soon as we got to the water we were inundated with ducks coming for food-that we didn't have for them. As we watched other moms and their kids throw food to the ducks we found out that we could buy food for the ducks in the little store. We didn't buy any today, but that would be fun next time. We walked down the lake and found a bench to take a rest on. We sat down and slowly, one by one, out creeped squirrels. They were fat and busy gathering all of the duck food they could before the ducks showed up. Someone had left peanuts for them. Benjamin loved seeing "the squirrels cracking nuts crunch, crunch" because that is what happens in one of our books! Hannah loved the ducks and didn't want to stop watching them...quack quack quack! Every time we go to the lake we experience something new and different!
