Yesterday evening, Jason and I decided to take the kids for a nice leisurely night out--feeding ducks! Since we've been on a kick lately of doing things with the family that are new, different, and exciting (okay, exciting might be a bit of a stretch, but it is different!), we thought it might be something fun for the kids. So, with some stale vegetable crackers in tow, we were off!
Next, Jason took the kids over to catch some bait with his casting net, while the kiddos picked the minnows off the ground and threw them in.
Here are the kids feeding the ducks out of their hands. I was quite impressed that the kids let them get that close!
Here's Layton taking a quick bite before handing his cracker over to the ducks. I'm just glad it wasn't the other way around.
What are the kids doing in this picture, might you ask? Why learning to spit off the bridge, courtesy of 'Daddy 101'. If you look close enough in the picture, you can even see the spit flying out of Ashlyn's mouth. Ha!
After a rousing game of ,'Let's see who can spit the farthest', we went on our way to pick flowers and take an up-close look at the wildlife.

After a few rounds of casting and picking up fish, we headed home. It was such a cool, summer evening and a fun time for our family.
What are some out-of-the-ordinary activities you like to do with your family?

What a fabulous night out! Love the spitting pics - haha!!! What do we do out-of-the-ordinary? Hmmm- cheer for the Dallas Mavericks (before they got kicked out of the play-offs)... pick strawberries... go to the park... Wow - we lead a boring life! haha
That is a fun night out. Those memories will be the ones that they remember when they are grown up. We feed the ducks a lot too.
