Not just a stroll in the park!



Yesterday Grayson took the dog for a walk when he found this little family of geese just walking down the street. Apparently they had been walking down they busy street in front of our housing development. One of our neighbors took it upon himself to lead the ducks back to the golf course where other ducks hang out. There is a wall with an iron fence dividing our neighborhood and the golf course the geese couldn't figure how to get across. The man brought a wood plank to make a ramp for the babies to get over and hoped the parents could just hop or fly over. After two of the babies went over the parents were freaking out because they couldn't find them. Then we put the other two babies over hoping the mom and dad would just fly over. They were really freaking out now thrusting their heads through the metal bars. We didn't dare pick them up so we waited until they got on the wood plank and then the men lifted it up and they took off flying. It was so beautiful to watch. I am sure they would have found their way eventually but it was fun for the kids to have a little adventure!!!
