out for a duck

While at the Spa, we had such a sweet encounter one morning ...

We were making our way to the heated pools, when we noticed something very unusual in the cold pool ...

A mother duck and her cute little ducklings - they couldn't have been more than a week old!

The boys were desperate to get near them


then Jamie had the great idea to run back to our room and get some bread

instantly we had both mother and babies literally eating out of our hands!

it was so amazing to actually be able to see what their webbed feet do under water - usually not possible because of muddied pond water


these next two shots were taken by Dylan - he had the great idea of putting the camera at water level and really captured the cute factor!


later on in the day, Jamie and Braeden decided to swim with them!

Oh they are SO CUTE. I love little yellow ducklings,they look like the little plastic bathtoys. The water level shots were a brilliant idea indeed!

Oh they were absolutely adorable! I managed to pick a couple of them up while the mother was distracted, and they felt so lovely and soft!
