crazy ducks

We took the boys to a park the other day and introduced them to ducks. There was a cute little bench overlooking a pond where we stopped for a snack and rested (and gave the ducks a chance to catch their breath after being chased all over by an excited 14 month old).


The ducks were, of course, curious about what the boys were munching on. Well, one duck got a little too courageous and before we knew what had happened, he had snatched the bag of gold fish right out of Cohen's hand!

Cohen was completely taken off guard and more than a little intimidated. Yeah. In fact, I would say it was a quasi-tramatic experience for him.

I mean, hey! A pack of aggressive ducks with limited sense of boundaries can be pretty scary for a two year old! (Or even a grown woman, right Mom? You and the duck episode will always be one of my funniest childhood memories :)

As you can see, Cohen spent the rest of our time at the park a little on the cautious side.
