"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands."
-Douglas Adams
Isla had an adventure this week when a mommy duck and her ducklings somehow got into our neighbor’s pool. One duckling, and we have no idea how it did this, ended up in our yard. Momma duck was not happy about this, but Isla was able to get the duckling into a pot so that it could be handed over the fence. The duckling was reunited with it’s siblings, and then the neighbor spent the next hour trying to get the ducks out of his pool. This was the highlight of Isla’s week.
James’s soccer season is nearing it’s end, only two more games to go. James is showing more potential as a defense player and his coach has commented on his ability to quickly pass the ball to the right player. A lot of kids try to kick it down field as soon as they get it but James is more tactical.
