A couple of Saturdays ago, Brian came in calling for the girls to come outside and check out what all the excitement was about...I came out to find this blob in the street near a car parked across from our house. At first I thought it was a dead animal and of course, my immediate thought was, "why in the world did he come get the girls for that?!" However, upon a closer look, I found out it was...
this...a little flock of sweet ducklings!
There were 12 little cuties...all huddled together...in the street!
Of course we didn't feel right just leaving them there, so we attempted to "herd" them over to the grass. Here's the little and big herders. :O)
They started to draw quite a crowd...and they were getting close...
Finally! They made it to the grass...however, we still didn't feel great about leaving them where they would likely head right back into the street. But, we didn't know where they had come from. There are two ponds in our neighborhood and one neighbor said she saw them come from the direction of one of them. So, we found a large box, scooped them up Brian and a few kids headed off to set them free by the pond. We were hoping that their mom would be near (we hadn't seen her during this whole thing)...
And who said suburban living is boring?!
