Feeding the Ducks

When the weather was nice a couple of weekends ago, we picked up Avery from my parents house and took her up to Chisholm trail to play on the playground and feed the ducks. There were so many of them here that day.

Poor Mom forgot to bring bread, but it seems that ducks don't really care what they eat, so we were throwing nothing but yummy cheese popcorn to them.

Then, the biggest duck there seemed to follow Avery everywhere she went, but I'll tell you, this chick is brave because he was getting pretty close:

As we were leaving I was taking a few last pics and all of a sudden the ducks dispersed in groups and in the middle of the group was this nasty creature, a Nutria, which come to find out later is a large rodent that looks like a beaver...eewwww! All Tim and I could keep thinking about while looking at this thing

was this thing:

You may remember the Rodent of Unusual Size from The Princess Bride (what a classic movie!).

Needless to say, we scooped up Ms. Avery and were out of there!
