Day at the Duck Pond

The kids love to go to this duck pond by our house, it is actually right off the freeway next to a restaurant. It is very beautiful and there are lots of ducks that are friendly, well they don't let the kids pet them, but they don't bite either

There is a special memorial that was built shortly after this war began. There is a statue of a soldier sitting down to write a letter.

All around the soldier there are real letters sent home from soldiers to families that live in the area.

Kelli is my first child to understand the need to break the bread into pieces before throwing it to the ducks! The breadsticks last much longer!
