To the Duck-Mobile!

Last night as Jolie was getting her stitches, we entertained and distracted her with videos on Kurt's phone. There were a lot of videos of Jolie chasing ducks during a fall trip to see my parents in Idaho, such as this one:


At some point I told her we could go feed the ducks today. So, this morning we made popcorn.And we went to the park. It was windy and cold. Really, really, really cold. The pond was almost completely ice, except for the few spots where the water is pumped in.
But they had lots of fun feeding the 8 ducks. 3 of them have names now: "Whitey" is the white one, "Crazy Hair" has a tuft of feathers on top of his head that stick up, and "Limpy" only has one good leg and hobbles along. "Limpy" is really in quite a sad situation. We had to do some creative popcorn throwing so he could get some without being trampled by the others.
A look at Jolie's stiches today:Thankfully she is very much back to normal. Running around, climbing up the furniture, chasing her siblings, swinging swords around, and all that dangerous stuff.
