Visiting Daddy in "Mongene"

Cory is working in Eugene (about 2 hours south of us) for the next three weeks. We hate it when he works away from home, but at least when he is in "Mongene" (Ry's name for Eugene...a mix between Montana (where Cory has worked quite a bit over the last couple of years) and Eugene) we can go and visit during the week. Last night Riley and I left Bailey with Mimi and drove down to have dinner with Dad and to feed the ducks. There is a HUGE duck pond in Eugene and every time we go there we take bread and crackers so Riley can feed the ducks. Usually it is the highlight of her trip, but that was not the case last night. There were big and little ducks at the park last night, and Riley said the big ducks "ruined her day." They would not leave the poor kid alone. They weren't shy and got too close to Ry (and to me, for that matter). The stinky big ducks scared Riley, and we spent most of the time at the park trying to get away from them. Cory and I HATE going to the duck pond...there is poop all over the place and the ducks really do swarm you once they figure out you have food. We secretly hope the big ducks scared Riley enough that we never have to go back again! Though she didn't enjoy feeding the ducks too much, the night was saved when she got to have a HUGE ice cream bar for her "junk" after dinner.
