8 Little Ducklings and 5 Goose Eggs!

Today the sun was shining bright as we put on our lifevests to venture out in the canoe on Cottage Lake.  We paddled over to see a Mother Goose sitting on her eggs while the Father Goose watched us closely from the other side of the dock.  We were quiet and left her in peace quickly enough.  Then we glided down Cottage Creek to see the beaver lodge and scare up some ducks and red-winged blackbirds.  On the way back we sideled up to a mother duck and her 8 ducklings and sang "The Ugly Duckling Song." 

We ended up sipping smoothies in the sun, sitting on the dock and reading the 10 Little Rubber Ducks. A semi-true story of rubber ducks getting lost overboard on an ocean liner and ended up in different places around the world.  What a great way to begin the day!
