Ducks take over


Lauren went with her grandparents to their lake house over the weekend and had a great time. Unfortunatley, the element in the hot water heater had burned up so we couldn't stay the night. But, Lauren's great-grandparents were camping at Riverview Camp Ground which is just past the Osage River on Hwy 54, so we all went over and visited with them. Lauren noticed while looking out the camper window that there were about 8 ducks standing outside close by and she wanted to see them. Grandma B had some stale biscuits that she said we could feed ducks but we should be careful because they will eat out of your hand! Well, guess what happened when we opened the bag and started throwing food? Yep, they swormed us and Lauren thought they were going to attack her and started crying. When she threw a piece of bread she didn't quite get it out of her hand when one of the ducks pecked it out. She said "grandma the duck bit my hand", which it was just a small peck. But to Lauren it was a bite. From that point on she looked at the ducks from inside the camper and was very content. Hopefully the next time she see's a duck it won't traumatize her.
