HI DUCKS!

We have a great little duck pond at the entrance of our community. We've seen ducks, geese, and turtles all living in the pond. Every time we drive by the pond, we all take turns saying, "Hi ducks! Hi geese! Hi turtles!" It's fun, and surprisingly hasn't gotten old yet.

We've been watching the progress lately of a family of geese that live on the pond. A mom and dad have been rasing five little goslings on the pond. We've watched these little guys grow from yellow fuzzballs into the "kid geese" (Wil's term) that they are today. Wil wishes that the baby geese would have seen him first, so that they could follow him around instead of their parents. We don't know where he learned that.
Enjoy the nature shots!

Do you ever feed the geese?

Somebody comes to the pond and feeds them a bag of corn each day. They're gonna get really fat.

How fun! My Janelle loves ducks too - she always wants to go to the "Duck Park" in McKinney to feed them. Cute pictures!
