Baby ducks! Quite possibly my favorite "pet" ever! They are just so sweet and fun to watch.
We had ducks a couple of years ago and they were, unfortunately, plucked off one by one by a bobcat. I'm not positive that these guys will have a much different ending, but for now they are super fun and we are getting a lot of free(ish) entertainment from them.
Isabella absolutely loves the ducks. She wakes up every morning, and goes to the sliding glass door that is the entrance to our 3-season-room (where the ducks are living currently) and says, "Cheese. Ducks." Cheese happens to be one of the ducklings names. We have Cheese, Quackers, Patito, and Napoleon, who is so named because she's little and a little feisty.
Almond the cat is probably the only local resident who is not impressed with our newest additions.
We are officially on summer break, except for a certain high schooler who needs to finish his Music Theory class. This morning we woke up and went for a nice long hike right away. The laundry is out on the line, the girls are playing in water on the deck, Aidan is sitting in a lawn chair reading, and most of ours days are filled with a lot of free time (more on that later).

Hmmmm...I have a certain almost high schooler who is the only one not finished here too.....
I also have a 1 year old obsessed with not ducks, but chickens. Actually it was his first real word and one of only a few that he has, including cheese.
Miss you!
