From Hop Hops to Quack Quacks.

After the fun of the petting zoo on Saturday, Sunday Ellie got to hang out with waterfoul when we visited the boathouse at East Lake Village. Grandma and Grandpa know how to show a girl a good time!

Grandma got her a cup full of duck feed, and Mr. and Mr. Mallard came over to visit her (the Mr. Mallard closer to the left later bit her on the leg, but Ellie did not really react.)

She did not quite understand that feeding ducks was not quite the same as feeding bunnies.

She loved her time on the boat, especially the mushroom puff appetizers that were made available.

Plus she wrestled the wheel away from her grandpa, AND insisted that she get to put her cup in the captain's cup holder. She's a naughty one.

Not pictured: she pooped her pants, and while trying to convince Ellie to sit quietly, Eileen ended up with poop on her jeans. That's why I avoid Ellie and her bomb diapers at all costs.

So, our boat ride was ended early, but there was still a whole night of delicious food and fun with Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Jake. Next time duckies, next time.
