At the beginning of our walk in Meeks Park, we saw Mrs. Mallard and nine little baby mallards.  They had this perfect feeding ground, in a big puddle, away from the busyness of the river.  

 

I can't help it, but I always think of Robert McCloskey's  Make Way for Ducklings.  We always laugh and name the eight little ducklings out loud:

Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack, and Quack.  Hahaha!!!  JKLMNOPQ.  So is this ninth one's name Rack?  I think so.

 

HAPPY SUMMER!!!
