Many Ducks (like that Renae?)

We have discovered a great trail on the Minnesota River here in Shakopee. About three weeks ago we went to the "Helicopter Park" as the girls call it. It's actually Veterans' Memorial Park in Shakopee next to the Chamber of Commerce and Dangerfields on Highway 101, but I like Helicopter Park better. This little spot is home to hundreds of ducks and geese. On this particular day, there was a guy out there with a 5 gallon bucket of corn feed letting all the kids feed the birds. It was a blast and we have been back every weekend since. On our last adventure the girls invited their friend Ellie. They had a great time feeding ducks, climbing trees, racing down the trail, and looking for "bear tracks"...and I peed in the woods...ah nothing like getting back to nature!
