Duck Race

I had no idea what we were signed up for. Simple me thought the duck race meant exactly that...dump the duckies into the river and see which one reached the lake first. Wrong...I was so wrong. There was an adult race AND a children's race. Plus there was 6 heats before the adult challenging race and then there was 11 heats before a challenging race. Then they had the BIG race. After all was said and done...it took 2 1/2 hours. Most of the kids lost interest after half an hour...not our Maggie. She watched the entire thing with big interest! We didn't win but Maggie felt like a winner becasue we could claim our duckies at the end of the race!
