Matty’s First Trip to the Bug Pond, er… Duck Pond
Matthew got to watch Melody feed the ducks at Lakeview Park in Middleton this evening. I would have taken him out and let him try, but I was afraid the swarming bugs were going to carry him off. Pinky was at Dawn & Jamie’s house and Mom was at work. We didn’t stay much longer than this video, after which we just walked a few laps around the pond.
Oh and I also upheld this annoying tradition that I’ve been following where every year I “rescue” a fish from my first fishing trip of the year and flop him into an unused aquarium. This year it was a lucky crappie. I’ll feed it minnows for most of the summer and then let it go. Today was Mr. Crappie’s lucky day as he’s now happily swimming in Lakeview Pond, along with the crawdad that hid in the tank until he was too big for the fish to eat.
Enjoy the shaky video, I was swatting horseflies with my other hand, and I’ll post pictures soon.
