Feed the ducks--goldfish crackers




After a long week in the house because the children have been sick--icky noses and coughing--Aunt Tysen called to invite us to join them at the BYU botany pond to feed the ducks.  It was sunny and not too cold.  The ducks greeted us enthusiastically and flocked around our feet, anxious for our offerings.  Aunt Tysen brought cheddar cheese goldfish which were a big hit all around.  As I watched, Blythe would throw a goldfish to the ducks, eat one or two, and only then throw another to the ducks.  Brandt and Blythe ran around with Ava, Crew, and Griffin, and we all enjoyed being outside in the sun.

Will any of ducks actually get crackers, or will the children eat them all?

These pictures have the same time signature.
How is it possible for Brandt be happy and cranky in the same minute? 

 
See the itty-bitty goldfish on the ground?  The muddy ground?
Blythe has a goldfish in her mouth that only moments before was resting right next to the goldfish you can see.  I wasn't quite fast enough to stop her from putting it in her mouth.
Yum!
