The pond

Our newest family hang out is ponds! We all enjoy watching the ducks and swans. The duck families are particularly fun to watch with all the little ducklings following their mom. Tonight the kids were bummed that there was a "no feeding" sign up so we left our loaf of bread in the car- only to find they had just dumped two piles of feed out for them, so the kids were able to feed them still.







Nick was markedly calmer than me- I kept envisioning Zach falling into the water.


A happy duck family.

Right before we left it started to rain!


I was impressed with my camera on this last picture. Click on it to see a larger version of it!

Wow, that is really great detail for your fairly basic camera! Which pond is that? Have you taken them up the one near the Union yet?

This pond was at Resthaven- the cemetary that Mark is at. We went there for Father's Day. What pond near the Union?

Up in Ames, near the Memorial Union? I don't remember what it is called. We used to go there with Mom to feed the ducks, remember?

It's really cool how you can capture simple things like water drops on camera
