DayBreak!

Last night, Clint was making grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. And as he searched the fridge for some bread, we discovered a loaf that had been there for quite a while. It wasn't moldy or anything but it wasn't "ideal" for sandwich making. Normally I would just throw it away but Clint thought it would be nice to feed some ducks somewhere. So today, Clint and I went to DayBreak after church to feed the ducks. When we got out of the car at the DayBreak lake, we didn't see very many ducks. And unfortunately, the two or three ducks we DID see kept swimming away from us. It's like they knew the bread we were trying to feed them was old or something. So there we were...at the lake, with bread in hand, and no ducks to feed! The only animal life in sight were the school of gnats swarming above Clint's head as we walked. That was actually pretty funny. You know how in comic strips, the artist will draw some dark squiggly lines above the cartoon's head to show that the cartoon character is angry? Well Clint looked like a real life "angry" cartoon with those gnats congregating above him. I wish we had a good picture of that! We walked around to some other lakes at DayBreak (all the while swatting gnats away from our faces) and finally did see a group of seagulls. We expected them to swim away from us as the ducks had but they must not be as picky about their lunchtime meal as ducks. When we threw the first piece of bread into the water, these birds completely swarmed around us. I feared that poop would land on me but we were lucky and did not get hit this time.
