We let Shelby roam around at the Turtle Pond which is next to the Great Lawn. There were actually turtles in the pond, who knew? Posted by Picasa

Shelby spent some time feeding the ducks. A lady was there with bread for the ducks. She gave some to Shelby. After Shelby made two attempts to throw the bread in the water, she ate it herself. Posted by Picasa
