More Ducks

A couple of years ago on Easter Sunday we found a mom and baby ducks hatching in our yard. They all fell in the window well so Chris got them out and thought it would be fun to raise them for six weeks in our garage until we let them go at the golf course! They were a stinky mess after that long! On Friday we saw a mom and nine more baby ducks in the yard and then in the evening Ava was more than excited to see that they had all fallen in the window well again! This time we called animal control to come get them. As if we need a mom and nine more babies to feed and water at our house every day! I don't know why ducks enjoy our backyard so much!


Ava thought she needed to set some toys up in the window for the ducks to see! She was so excited to look at them while they had a short stay in our window well.


Going to their new home! One of them jumped out into our house and ran around the basement for ten minutes while Chris and the officer tried to catch it! Ava kept saying "carpet", "ducks---yucky!"

Your Ava is a kick! Toys for the ducks, so cute. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the pics of the kids playing together, the cans over the boys, priceless! It was so fun to see you and visit for a min.

How cute! Ducks would never surivive around our house. Our dogs are very territorial. We used to have quails and baby quails, but our dogs chased them off. I was so sad.
It was great seeing you last night. You're seriously so gorgeous and so sweet. I enjoy your company.
