My intent today was to take Thomas to a local pond to feed the ducks.  I had been saving up stale bread in the freezer, like my mom did when I was young. I loved going to feed the ducks as a child.  I was hoping Thomas would enjoy it, too.

So, we headed over to the pond and saw some ducks right away.  We sat down on a bench and I opened up the bag of bread.  Immediately, we were surrounded by ducks.  They were obviously not afraid of us, and apparently were used to being fed by humans.  I know that can be a problem, and I certainly don’t want to add to the problem.  I scooped up Thomas and switched our outing into a nice walk around the pond.  Thomas wanted to check out the ducks. They were so big!

Apparently Thomas didn’t sense my fear, as he walked right up to the ducks!  He didn’t manage to pet any of them, but he chased them around a bit.
