Texas-Thursday and Friday

Off to Texas we went for Nathan's wedding. The first night, Thursday, we were there my mom gave Ryann her Christmas present. She wanted to watch her open it and see her play with it. There were two presents, but Ryann's attention span only lasted for one present that night.

She opened up a doll and then decided she wanted her doll and her Minnies to ride on Great Grandma Bird's walker.

The next morning my mom and me took Ryann to go feed the ducks.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Hamilton came along for the walk too.

Ryann did not want to get down with the ducks. These ducks are quite tame, you can reach down and pet some of them. But there are a lot of them and when they see you walk up, they all swarm over to get some food.

So instead of Ryann feeding the ducks, we put the bread on her stroller and had the ducks just eat near her.
Ryann didn't mind the ducks eating by her but she preferred to eat the bread herself. Ryann kept getting mad at the ducks because they kept trying to take the bread she was eating.

After the bread was all gone and the ducks began to disperse, Ryann got out of her stroller.

She seemed to be curious about the ducks...

and enjoyed herself

At home, Ryann got a cup of goldfish and shared them with her Great Grandma and dumped them all over the couch too.

Jared and Melissa came over with my cute niece and nephew. Lindsey sat on Clint's lap...

while Justin was trapped by his feet.

Friday afternoon Candice went through the temple.
