Lucky Duckies!

     This afternoon we had a duck along with 10 little baby ducklings hanging out in the back yard.  We were watching them from the  window, they are so cute.  The mommy duck was lurking by the trampoline and quacking her head off.  
     I told the girls, "I bet some her little duckies had fallen under the trampoline."  (This happens nearly every year)  
     Megan said, "Mom, I don't think so because she already has ten babies."


The girls went to have a look!
Sure enough, they found two little duckies under the trampoline.
They rescued the little duckies from under the under ground prison.  I 
think they would have liked to hold them for the rest of the afternoon, 
but they knew that the cute little yellow dudes were anxious to be back 
with their brothers and sisters.
So they lovingly returned them to their family.
Then they all marched off together.  
What Lucky Duckies!

that's pretty neat you got to hold the duckies and rescue them. We don't get very many ducks in our yard, maybe scorpions and lizards. I don't think you'd get the same reaction from the kids if we were to hold them.
