Grandpa found a duckling!

Mom & Dad - This first post is a video. We'll get better at this as we go along. :) Enjoy!
Remember you can double-click the photos to make them larger.



This is the box that the duckling was put when it was found at the swimming pool. We carried Madeline to the Acuario in it.




Madeline was sooooo soft and furry and so tiny.


She was really jumping around in the box.


This is the man at the Acuario who took the duckling.
He was a very nice man and we are sure he will take good care of Madeline.


This is the receipt the man at the Acuario gave us when we gave him the duckling.






This is the link to a website that tells about Mallard ducks. Have fun reading all about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallard

Also, we saw a book online about a family of Mallard ducks. It looks like it would be a fun book for the kids to have. It's entitled "Make Way For Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
We have the book "Make Way for Ducklings"! It's a really good story about a mother and father duck that are looking for a good home to raise babies. After the mother duck lays her eggs, the father leaves and tells her to meet him at the park with their babies after they are old enough. A nice police officer helps them cross the road safely.
We think your baby mallard duck looked really cute!
Love, Natalie and Andrew
