Kids and Ducklings

We had a garage sale last Saturday and Adam found and caught a cute little duckling wattling close to our house. It was so cute and all the kids wanted to keep it but we couldn't because we are hopefully moving to Miami soon.
I felt some anxiety because I have heard some birds will not accept their baby if it has a humans sent on it so I felt very concerned about this baby duck because my kids had held it for a couple hours. Jennifer being the wonderful researcher she is got on the Internet and researched all we needed to know about ducklings. She found out the mother would take her baby back with no problems so Jennifer, Adam, and Rachel went to a pond, near our house, where there are quite a few ducks and their babies and let it go. They all had to check on the baby a couple times but were soon comforted enough to stay home.
