A walk in the park…

So off to the park we went, a family outing of sorts. Mom and Robyn were off to the batting cages, me and Syd off on a walk around the lake. Syd was extremely happy, trying to make friends with every person she could see. Then we got close to the lake, and she saw… THE DUCKS. Syd has never ever seen a duck. Of coarse Syd just wanted to make friends with these strange new beings, but as she approached they waddled away into the water. Then one quaked at her, and she was behind my legs, tail tucked hiding from the oh so scary ducks.

We kept walking, and I told Syd (like literally I talk to her when we are on walks) that if she wanted to see a duck, up close, we had to be quite and sneaky. Over the hill we went, all sneaky like, and there were more ducks. Again one quakes and Syd was a quivering mess. I decided that maybe it wouldn’t be such a good idea to let her keep getting scared by ducks, so we started back towards the batting cages.

After we had all batted for a while, we went to play catch. This was pure torture for Syd because of course she wanted to play too. Her head would follow every toss of the ball. I felt pretty bad. Oh well, she officially loves the park
