Derby

Last weekend was the Kentucky Derby, and while we don't have much interest in horse racing, it means that it was also the weekend of a local Duck Derby fundraiser.  We had lunch first at a little bar restaurant down town.


 We had a hard time being patient and waiting for the ducks to come.  Oh, and it was hot.

A smile from E, in daddy's arms.

You have to look closely to see the ducks going over the waterfall, and bouncing off the rocks.  I only brought one lens.

Pooling at the bottom of the falls.

Hi, ducks!

The girls hated the waiting, especially since we were down on the rocks.  They had on flip flops (poor planning, mommy), and Becca could hardly keep herself standing last weekend on flat ground.  (We think she might be going through a growth spurt, because she's eating like a horse, too.)  Once we got onto the rocks, we told them they had to sit and couldn't run around.  They don't take well to "sit and don't move."  Once the ducks started coming, I think they enjoyed it.
