Swans, Ducks, Geese & Ducklings

Sam: Gemima, Julia, Jamie, Jake, Amelia, Madeline, Jonathan, Jakey, Frapuccino, Toffee, Brownie, Jakers, Carmen SanDiego, Bleach, Whitey, Carmen, Zapper, Zip, Zakely, Zommy, and then there’s the twins, but we haven’t really named them yet. Oh yeah, those are Zippy and Zappy.

These are all of the ducks we’ve named. I think there’s a few more, but I forgot all of them. I think my favorite are the twins, and their mom and dad, Jakey and Frappucinno.

While we are on the narrowboat, a bunch of ducks follow us, and we feed them noodles and bread. One time some geese were sitting on the side, and then, there were swans. The swans were really funny, and they have really stubby feet. The swans followed us for about 2 miles, and then a boat passed us, and then mom told them “if you feed them, they’ll follow you” and then the swans turned around and followed them.

We went to Ty Mawr Country Park, near Trevor Basin. I saw cows and horses there. I like horses better than cows. That park wasn’t anything like the parks in California, because it had a big soccer field, a playground, a bicycle track, and guinea pigs. There are no parks in California that have a zoo and a park all together. At least that I’ve been to. At the visitor center, it was different too, because I’ve never seen one that was that decorated and kid-friendly. It had games that you could play, and it had things about the animals, and their life. I’d say my favorite was the guinea pig. They also had Peppermint the sheep, Vickie the hog, there were also chickens and ducks there, and we got some duck and chicken food at the visitor center and we fed the chickens and the ducks.
