Make Way for Ducklings!

Make Way for Duckings by Robert McCloskey is one of our favorite books and last weekend we decided to have a duck day and take a trip to Boston to ride the swan boats, visit the ducks, and see the ducklings statue. It turned out to be a fantastic day!

First, we went to the duck pond to go for a ride on the swan boats. We had to wait a few minutes but nobody minded because it was a beautiful day and there were plenty of ducks to watch.

On the boat, the kids loved watching all the ducks, checking out where they lived, and pretending to be ducks themselves.

This was a picture of a duck we startled! The boat went very close to the shore of the island in the pond (which is the rocks you can see at the top of picture) and there was a duck between the boat and island! He wasn't too happy!

After the boat ride we wandered around the park a bit and Julia tried climbing this redwood tree.

And of course, we found the Mrs. Mallard and ducklings statue!

Our final stop was lunch at Cheers where appropriately, we "cheers"-ed!
