After arriving in Orlando and
finally getting all of the details worked out for our rental car (a whole other story one that I will spare you the details) we headed for the house that my parents had rented looking for a quick nap before dinner and Universal that evening. Mayce however had other plans so we decided that it would be best to allow her the opportunity to run. The "backyard" at the house was a LAKE!! It was beautiful, calm and relaxing with ducks to boot! The only drawback was the sign...needless to say it left us shaking our head for a few moments.

Mayce loved feeding the ducks and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Funny isn't it how you can go to theme parks, aquariums, baseball games, water parks, and malls but the moments most distinctly remembered are those spent sitting on the grass feeding ducks? Whoever said the greatest treasures in life can't be purchased was wise beyond the years for the only thing we paid for this simple pleasure was $1.89...the price of the loaf of bread.

The lake actually was home to around 15 ducks but our very favorite was this momma and her babies. There were seven little ones and when asked Mayce would say without fail "They're mine".
