Hello! Melissa finally took me on an adventure to McDonough Park. We went in search of a turtle friend...
The park is a 277 acre wildlife reserve in Vienna. You can expect to see lots of animals and birds while you're there.
Coincidentally, the first thing that we saw was a lovely little family of deer. These little fawns still have their spots, so they're just babies.
The park consists of a bunch of trails that all go around this marsh area. Looks like a perfect spot to see a turtle, huh?
These geese were making a lot of ruckus. Honking and flapping all over the place. No wonder the turtles were hiding!
Then we explored the other pond thing with all of the bird nests built above it.
Melissa dared me to jump in to find some turtle friends.
Hmmm.
No, I don't think that I will...I've grown rather accustomed to the air conditioning and daytime television.
The geese decided to form a roadblock to barricade us in. They said if I give them my wallet, they'll let us go. Luckily, Melissa was able to distract them with some bread crumbs.
Melissa couldn't work my mug into this shot without blurring up the butterfly, so I thought it best to sit this one out.
The sun started to set, so we went back home. You know how horror movies start...A girl and a turtle in the woods...I didn't see any turtles, but I met a bunch of fun animals anyway!
Until Next Time,
Samantha Turtle
