We were fresh out of tuppence, so we brought a bag of bread heals to surrender to the flock.  We were barely two steps away from the path when a group of white ducks and a sorry-sounding black and red goose came charging &#8212; and I mean charging &#8212; our way.  <a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/640\/IMG_7508.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/320\/IMG_7508.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>Will was overpowered by them at first.  Then he got cool and started to take control of the situation.  Pretty soon, he was telling them, &#8220;be nice,&#8221; &#8220;take your turn,&#8221; and &#8220;wait a minute!&#8221;<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/640\/IMG_7510.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/320\/IMG_7510.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>When finished, he ran around the park with them.  I was surprised at how little this phased them.  Will also periodically stopped and commanded them to &#8220;go see Mommy!&#8221; (Note picture below.)<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/640\/IMG_7538.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/2787\/660\/320\/IMG_7538.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>In addition to the ducks and goose, Will fed (and chased) squirrels, turtles, and birds.  It was a very beautiful &#8212; if not incredibly humid &#8212; morning in the park.  I was disappointed (but not surprised) that Will wasn&#8217;t able to walk far along mediation path.
