feeding the ducks

Lydia woke up practically breathless from excitement about some dinosaur I can’t even pronounce, so I thought another trip to the BYU dinosaur museum was in order. Lydia toted along her new dinosaur book and eagerly looked up each skeleton to see if her book referenced it. I thought her enthusiasm was adorable.

After Abe came home from work, we all ate outside before heading to a nearby park to feed the ducks. Abe found this park online, and we loved it. I only regretted not having my phone because most of the time Abe had one girl on each knee with his arms around them both while they fed the ducks. It melted my heart. I had to sit on a bench and watch from afar, but Abe took some selfies and photos of the girls. Here’s a video of feeding the ducks.
