Friday, April 13th

Friday the 13th did NOT prove to be unlucky for the KW crew.  We ventured back to the canal to check on the ducklings.  We easily found the seven ducklings that we had discovered last Friday.  In fact, they were up along the path, and our group was able to get within a few feet of them.  Bringing along duck treats makes the ducks far more willing to approach us!  We continued along the canal and found a turtle family huddled on a rock in the middle of the canal.  A little further along, we saw a new batch of ducklings!  They were smaller, so we think that  they were born in the past week.  As the ducklings were swimming, we noticed that their feet were black, not orange like adult ducks.  As we left the canal, Hadley said, "We love you chickies.  We hope you have a very safe life."
We had one more stop on our Friday adventure:  Sprinkles!  We had a mini-cupcake and a water break before heading up the hill to the school.  Enjoy the images and have a great weekend!
