...everywhere a QUACK, QUACK!

On a complete whim today, mom & dad stopped by the pond near the hospital up the road from our apartment. The rain we've had for a week straight now is still hanging around, so we were brave to venture out of our car... but it paid off, because the rain held off just long enough for us to walk once around the pond & feed the duckies a little.

Because it was such a last minute decision, we were not prepared with the appropriate duck munchies, so we had to improvise with a handful of the Kix cereal from my snack cup. It didn't seem to bother the duckies at all... they loved my Kix as much as I do!

There were lots of ducks & geese, and even a mommy duck with four little baby ducklings. I also found the turtles quite interesting... dad had to pull me away from the bridge... I'm not sure why he was in such a hurry?... I just wanted to talk to the turtles! I also got a close-up of a snail & rolypoly. I am not such a fan of touching little creatures like that... I like to look at them, but touching them is not really my thing.

If you make it to the end of the slide show, you'll see that I was NOT HAPPY about leaving the pond. After being stuck inside for so long - - I was enjoying the fresh air & was not quite ready to leave when mom & dad were. I let them know :o)
