Quackers

Sorry, you've probably had your fill of duck posts by now, but I never tire of the feathery little neighbours at our dock.

As usual, the princess and the red-head had a lovely time feeding the momma duck and her ducklings some bread ends.

Things got a bit more interesting this week, though.

The ducks came by later when the kids were playing in the pedalboat. Seizing the opportunity, the kids scrambled to collect some crusts and headed back out into the boat.

Ducks + pedalboat = hilarity.

It started innocently enough with the hungry ducks circling the boat.

But before long there were actively pursuing the slow-moving boat around the lake. Try as they might, the kids couldn't out run them.

I was humming Ride of the Valkyries up on the porch.
