Feeding Birds

Yesterday was a gorgeous day. As soon as Gary got home, we picked up Subway (Kai's favourite `restaurant') and went to Campbell Valley Park to feed the birds.

It was soooooo good. I am being more intentional about having more fun family activities. For the past two months, family time was a group trip to Home Depot. BORING.

We saw ducks, squirrels, birds and lots of dogs:) The boys love it there.

The first time a bird ate from Kai's hand, he dropped all the food because he was freaked out. I'll be honest, it does feel kind of creepy!

So, here is just watching Gary do it and trying to get his confidence up again.

Koen was holding just one seed and calling `Birdie! Birdie!', so sweet:)

They loved Gary, I think he could hold his hand up the highest which freaked them out the least.

Gary and Kai working together to feed the birds...perfecto!

Kai LOVED it. He did say afterwards that someone should cut the birds nails as they were too scratchy.

Koen's turn!

I love how Koen and the bird are looking at each other:)

Okay, my turn. Trying to be brave...

Kids totally pick up on your actions so I was just trying to be calm but in my head I was like, `Don't bite me! Don't hurt me! ahhhhh!!!' for a silly little bird.

It was fun and so nice to get some great fresh air and exercise.

We packed the boys into the stroller and quickly did the whole loop as the sun was setting and I really wanted some exercise.

A wonderful evening with my boys...and some birds.
