Where are Austin's Ducks??

When we lived in Dallas, one of our favorite pastimes was walking 7/10ths of a mile from our front door to our neighbor- hood duck pond. The buddies were still quite young, but they enjoyed sitting in their stroller, watching the big kids feed the ducks. Now that they are old enough, they want in on the action. But where are the ducks??

In the year and a half that we have lived here, we have gone to countless parks, but never stumbled across a duck pond. After hearing that other families visit the Arboretum to play on the cow statues, eat at Amy's Ice Cream, and feed the ducks, we thought we'd check it out this morning.

The buddies had a fabulous time at the statues and licked their sweet cream cups bone dry, but the ducks eluded us. After more than an hour of searching in the hot Texas sun and asking several bewildered strangers, we gave up and headed for home. Since it was past lunchtime and both boys had filled up on ice cream, I tossed a few pieces of our "duck bread" to the boys in the backseat and they munched happily, all the way home.
