Yesterday Amelie and I had some time to kill before we picked up Nadia from Museum School. There was no way I was going to run any errands on such a GLORIOUS day. So I decided I would take her over to the Trinity Duck pond. As I parked the car there were a bunch of geese on the grass in front of us and Amelie started freaking out with excitement. We got out of the car and heard “honk honk honk honk” and Amelie thought it was hilarious. “Touch them” and off she went to try and touch them. (the kid is afraid of gnats, but will try to capture a goose as big as her).
Here she is looking back at me and starting to laugh because the geese tried to get away from her.
Here she is trying to reason with them, “Hi geese, hi geese. Ome (come) here geese. Ome here geese.”
They decide she is getting too close and take off across the road.
“Ome on Mom!!”
Finally Amelie decided to just walk after them while I taped the video.
“Too bad.” As in too bad they got in the water before I could hug one of them.
