Farmington Pond

 Event though we've lived in this area for over a year, I still don't feel like I know it very well. Our family went on a drive a couple Sundays ago and Benj wanted to go up Farmington Canyon. Come to find out the road was closed (and has been for a while due to a rock slide). We went a different direction and ended up at a quaint duck pond, with picnic area and a wonderful walking path. 

Fast forward to this afternoon. We just had to do something outside (hasn't the weather been glorious the past little while? It makes me happy.). We grabbed some day-old hamburger buns and went to feed the ducks.

Once we got out of the car, these geese headed straight for us. It was kind of scary! They are pretty aggressive when it comes to getting food. We went to a little outlook where we could feed them without worrying about being pecked!


We had such a fun little outing. I met this sweet old man who comes almost every day to feed the ducks. He told me where to buy day-old bread and about his grandchildren. When we started to leave, Logan decided to walk by him instead of me and Norah. 

Afterwards, we went for a little walk up a path and Logan took over stroller-pushing duties. All was fine until he decided to let go in which Norah immediately started rolling down the hill! Logan laughed and thought it was great fun. I sprinted and caught the stroller before it headed into some bushes. About gave me a heart attack!
We finished this outing with ice cream and it made for a pretty fun afternoon (despite the almost heart attack).

Hope you've been enjoying this beautiful weather too!
