Feeding Ducks - Lake Elizabeth

Posted By Dad On February 10, 2008 @ 1:48 pm In Just Everyday, Places Visited | No Comments

The Svendsen & Lambert Trios went to Lake Elizabeth ( oh the memories ) to feed the ducks. Erin brought along an old loaf of bread and Gus and I tried to keep the kids out of the lake :-)

Both kids seemed a little unsure of what we were doing until Gus threw the first few pieces of bread in the lake and the swarm of birds appeared (yes, I know a group of birds is called a flock, but these acted more like bees than birds, in fact as it turns out a group of ducks is called a paddling of ducks, a raft of ducks, a team of ducks, or a dopping of ducks according to about.com) Anyway, the kids did have fun, Cezanne was enjoying it so much that when she saw she was almost out of bread she began biting the bread she did have into tiny pieces so as to have more to feed with.

As it turns out - feeding the birds was not allowed - so we wrapped it up and headed home :-(
