If It Walks Like a Duck

A few weeks ago, SFDad and SFBaby took a trip to visit the Strybing Arboretum in Golden Gate Park. We had a good time walking around and smelling all of the flowers.

At one point, we encountered a gaggle of geese sitting around on the grass. We’ve been teaching SFBaby how to identify ducks (“quack”, she says) in her bathtub and in books, and since geese looks a lot like ducks, that was her response here too!

She was both enthralled and terrified of the geese. She loved to laugh and point when she saw the geese moving around, but when they started to waddle toward her as you can see to the right, she was a little less sure of herself.

  not a bad thing at all for her to have a healthy respect for geese. Those critters can be NASTY. Until recently all four-legged creatures up here said “MOOOOOO.”
