Today we met Uncle Gamo, Aunty Neeta and Samuel (aka Ramo, Praneeta, and their week-old bub) at the Botanic Gardens for lunch. While we were there, we had a very interesting time feeding the resident ducks.
Grace got quite a shock, as these ducks were not the timid Jerrabomberra variety that we are accustomed to. Rather, they were more of the rip-the-food-bag-out-of-your-hand-variety that, in the beginning, terrified the living daylights out of her.
She did get her own back, however, by cheerfully throwing their food into the pond and making the psychotic little buggers work for their lunch.
After lunch, we went to watch Bern's cousin Louise, who got married in Dunedin today, as she posed for photos outside the church. Grace thought she was a very beautiful bride, and had a wonderful time playing with the other little girls who had attended the wedding. Much to Grace's delight, she discovered two fairy toadstools in the church garden. Charlie was equally delighted with her discovery, immediately grabbing one and hurling it over the railing. Thankfully she managed to save the remaining toadstool, because 'fairies actually live in there don't you know!'
