Duck Pond

Every Sunday we get a special treat! Ok, a couple of special treats. The girls only get to see Bryan Thursday night (Friday and Saturday nights of home games) and Sunday nights. Well, okay and wee hours in the morning if they happen to make it into our bed while we aren't looking. So, we make the most out of those special times. Sundays are family night at the football office and they have dinner catered in for us. There is also a duck pond on campus that we found and there are lots of ducks and they are always hungry! So, when the weather cooperates we go feed the ducks before we go feed ourselves and see daddy.

The first time we went the girls were slightly overwhelmed, but now they are naturals and they quack back! Ducks are smart animals. When they see small children they know they will get fed. They watch poor college students walk by and they don't bat an eye (these ducks know), but they see small children and parents and they will hover and quack and sometimes peck at you for the bread. They know who has the goods and who doesn't.

The girls hear, "Quack, quack, quack," but all I hear from these ducks is, "SUCKA!"

It is always fun and the girls look forward to it all day. And seeing daddy and company is always a thrill too. The girls love to see the other assistant coaches and families. Lots of kids on the staff=good times!
