Nate the daredevil
We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds.
We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

For the record, here are some FACTS about geese:
ReplyDelete1. Geese are mean.
2. Geese hiss scarily.
3. Geese have sharp teeth.
(I'm not sure about #3, but it's probably true)
I totally second what Nate said about geese. I had a very traumatic run in with one when I was about 5 or 6 and have never fully recovered (well, I sure don't like geese anymore). I was at a park feeding them bread and got bit! It hurt so bad!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny! Reminds me of when Emily got chased by a goose when she was little. It chased her all the way across the park, into the car, then chased the car down the road. It was pretty funny, but geese are so mean!
