Fun with Ducks

Sunday afternoon we went out to our friend Jacob's house in the country.  He has a pond, and has recently bought a number of ducks, which all live at his parent's house down the road.  He brought a few over and put them in the pond for our viewing pleasure.
Scott is brushing away a bug.

Now that Laurel can hold up her head, we decided to put her in the carrier facing out, which she enjoyed a lot more than facing in.  She looks a bit uncomfortable in this picture, but she really did like it!

There were also a number of bullfrogs in the pond


Love that Iowa prairie view

How in the world are we going to get those ducks back in the truck?

AFLAC!
 Here is a short video demonstrating how we got the ducks back into the truck.  Pardon the shaky camera work...I was holding the baby.
After we got all the trucks back into the truck, we visited all 25 of the ducks in the pen and fed them some bread.  They were happy to come and eat it out of your hands, and a couple almost crawled into my lap to get the bread.
