Make way for ducklings...

After Saturday's torrential downpours, Sunday was clear and dry, albeit windy and more than a bit chilly! But all things considered, it was a perfect day to head into Boston to spend Mother's Day with the girls!


One of our stops was the Boston Public Garden and, since it was Mother's Day, we thought it would be fun to stop and see Mrs. Mallard and all of her babies from Robert McCloskey's "Make Way for Ducklings."


You might remember that I recently shared this photo of the girls, taken 20 years ago, sitting on Mama Duck.


Well, the girls were kind enough to humor me with a reenactment of that delightful day!!

They may not be Kings of the World, but they are definitely Princesses of the Ducks!

A good time was had by all, even Mrs. Mallard....

And on our way out of the park, we spotted a real life Mrs. Mallard with her ducklings! I'm sure it was one of her ancestors who inspired this 1941 classic children's book!

I hope you all had a lovely Mother's Day! I'll share more photos of our Mother's Day in a future post.

Happy birthday and Mother's Day, Mom.. I love you and miss you!!
