On the way home from Three Oaks, we decided to stop at Kellogg Bird Sanctuary. It was a beautiful day and you can buy feed from the nature center to feed all of the geese, swans, and ducks. Noah LOVED this place. They even gave him a small bucket so he could carry his own bird food around and feel like a big boy. He loved feeding the ducks, running around and feeding more geese and swans. He was in heaven! The only low point came when a kid was running around with a large stick chasing a goose that was obviously distressed. As you can imagine, I put an end to his behavior. He stayed far away from us after that.
One of the black swans didn't really seem to want to eat the food, rather, he would bite your clothes, which kind of freaked Noah out. Noah also seemed to think the bird food was his to eat as well. I can't get him to eat corn at home to save my life, but he'll eat bird food, go figure.
