Gettin' Goosed!

Yesterday, we packed up Carter for some outdoor time. We spent a little bit of time at the park, swinging and climbing and sliding. We even found two brand new tennis balls. Score!

However, we spent most of our time over at the cemetery, feeding all the birds. ALL the birds. Trust me, we are quite outnumbered there. And yesterday, it got scary. Here is one set of geese. The mamas are flat out rude.


Here, we have our confrontation of the geese and the ducks. The geese were none too happy about the ducks coming over, wanting some food.

And then, if that wasn't enough, we have another group of snotty geese. At this point, we're completely surrounded.

This is about 35 birds too many for my comfort zone.

But dang! Look at the cute little duckies!!

One mama had had enough. She charged us! This picture was actually taken as I was running away. Eric had scooped up Carter, because it was fight or flight and we were outta there! That mama wasn't messing around one bit.

But the babies were soooo cute!




Awwwwwwww. No hissing from these fellas.

And this handsome fella, we saw on the way out. We had walked many of the paved paths throughout the cemetery and saw this guy and his lady friend by one of the irrigation ditches. They clearly wanted to get away from the overpopulated pond......or the mean mama geese. I'm going with the latter.

quack!
