Releasing the Ducks!

 The time had come to release the ducks,

so we loaded them up and took them

to our little neighborhood pond.

They should be safe there as there

is no threat from predators.

(Not that we know of, anyway)

 When the kennel was opened they tried climbing

deeper inside rather than coming out

as we expected.

Brilyn tried to coax her duck out!

Grandpa ended up having to

give the kennel a little shake and

dump them out.

 Then Caelie and Brilyn chased them

towards the water.

They didn't seem to want to

get in, so Caelie threw one.

 I'm not so sure they knew what to think.

They waddled up the hill toward

dry land. We then herded them

towards the water.

And once they realized it was

okay, they seemed to enjoy themselves.

Just look at them!

They seemed excited to finally have

room to swim!

 

And we've checked on them and fed them

daily and they are still alive and well.

Now - we have a real Duck Pond!
