Quack! Quack!

Have you ever been scared of something silly? Something like water, or flowers or for the sake of my story... ducks? Well.... I believe that after yesterday I have completely traumatized Eryn into being utterly afraid of ducks. Why you may ask?! After I picked Eryn up from Pre-school yesterday I decided that it would be fun to go down to the pond and feed the ducks. This is something that both Eryn and I have done before with no problems and she really likes doing it. Down at this pond there are ducks and fish and lots of turtles. (that is my favorite part, the turtles). Anyway, So I grabbed some pieces of bread and we went to the pond to feed the ducks. When we got there, there were a lot of ducks. I haven't seen that many ducks down there before so it surprised me greatly. Eryn was so excited cause there were a lot of them and she had bread for them all to eat. So we proceeded to start feeding the ducks. These must have been some pretty hungry ducks though. They were really big too. They actually were about as tall as Eryn is. We were trying to throw the bread into the water for them cause they were walking around on the grass and we thought if we threw the bread in the water they would go in the water.... the small ones took the hint but the big giant ducks wanted their food and they wanted it NOW. They proceeded to chase us all over the place because we had bread and they knew it was for them. Eryn started to cry and I had to pick her up and run with her because she was to scared. Needless to say, it will prob be a little bit before we decide to feed the ducks again. This experience however did not deter Eryn from playing with her rubber duckies in the bath tub last night so maybe her prejudice won't be against all ducks.... just the living kind. :)
