Dave was looking for something to do tonight after we ate dinner. He said that he was tired of being bored. So we decided to take a family stroll through Lake Lenape park. We took some bread with us and started with feeding the ducks. (We met some very friendly ones this time. And they too smelled the bread as we were getting to the park.) When we were done feeding the ducks Dave asked "Now what are we going to do?" So we went for a walk down the path to see what we could find. We first found a baby turtle sitting on a log along the bank. It was very tiny and we had to look hard to see it. Dave was very happy. Turtles are his favorite animals!! After looking at the turtle we continued down the path and saw a crane. The crane was standing motionless as it looked for fish for its dinner. Dave was happy to see the different types of wildlife in the park, but he wanted to know what else we could see. We headed to the dam to wathc the water rush by with a loud roar. He liked watching the water rush over the edge. After a few minutes Dave was ready to see something else. Off we went around the path to find some other animals. We saw more ducks, some geese, birds, and lots of squirrels. We even met a cat named "Squirrel" who was out for a walk with his owners. As we were walking around both Chris and I were telling Dave stories of how we both spent our summers in the park and swimming in the creek. Our stories were so similar. You would have thought that somewhere along the way our paths must have crossed. We could not believe that Dave walked the entire way from the baseball fields on Walnut St., by the white bridges, along the path to the boyscout cabin, then to the dam, and then up the field to walk by the Sellersville firehouse, then back on the path all the back to car. I think he will sleep well tonight! This is the crane that we found. Dave thought that he was trying to catch his night time snack.
