Ell Pond!

Last weekend, we went to Ell Pond in Melrose (Not in North Cambridge, obviously, but still a great place to go!) and saw some swans and turtles. Here are some photos!

Turtles! So many turtles!
This swan clearly ruled the pond, and if you got to close to him, well, we can’t take responsibility for what happens next! Remember: if you don’t bother the swan, it won’t bother you!
Even more turtles! These turtles were practically on top of each other, a big happy turtle family!

After walking around at Ell Pond, we went to get ice cream at Soc’s. Delicious and homemade, their ice cream is the perfect way to wrap up an afternoon of exploring! We recommend the chocolate cherry chip ice cream and chocolate-vanilla swirl soft serve. Warning: their ‘Stacker’ (layers of soft serve and a topping of your choice, we chose brownie bites) is huge! Definitely get it to share! Soc’s has soft serve, hard ice cream, slushies, frappes, lime rickeys and more!

One thought on “Ell Pond!”

  1. This looks like such a fun day! I’ve had a similar experience, swans are really aggressive when they want to be!
