I live in a small podunk town known for duck hunting. We have nothing like that and it sucks. There are probably close to 100 Peking ducks on our route. We have mild winters. If I could bring them all home, I would. Unfortunately we are already harboring two illegal fugitive boys as it is. And...
Figured I’d share with you all seeing as it’s been quiet on our end :)
On weekends we go for a bike ride along the canal (The boys do not go...lol). We bring a few bags of duck food, meal worms, peas, and whatever duck treats we have around the house and we feed all the ducks along the way.

Daddy Duck James completed the 21.3 mile swim of the length of Lake Tahoe in 11 hours, 53 minutes, and three seconds. He’s now the youngest person to ever swim it and he earned the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown.... another title of youngest to do. The swim started just after midnight.
Part of night...
James, Daddy Duck, is 14
He was dubbed Superduck when he was little for being such a fantastic swimmer. That started the duck obsession. He’d had it in his mind for 6 years that he would someday have two ducks named Chuck and Buck. His dream finally came true!
It’s a solo swim. He will get the record as the youngest person to accomplish the swim. He will also earn the Lake Tahoe Triple Crown as he’s already completed 2/3 swims required for the Triple Crown. Again, youngest person to earn that title.

Yes. Chuck has a brighter, oranger bill where Buck is much more pale. Their head/eye shape are a little different, too.
Personalities are very different. Buck is our snuggle boy and Chuck is pretty sassy.
Afternoon on the lake. I went kayaking. They joined me. Unfortunately they found a good spot for eating bugs/algae/whatever it was. They didn’t want to leave.
And if anyone is interested, you can follow Daddy Ducks 21.3 mile swim of the length of Lake Tahoe starting Saturday at midnight.
This is the link to his tracker. There are two swimmers before him (So if it doesn’t say James at the top, it’s not him). His will be live Saturday night starting...
Well, we are here! Actually we are at the campgrounds in Truckee until Daddy Duck’s big swim Saturday night/Sunday. The boys love it here. We got a campsite right on the water and they are loving running back and forth to the lake.
And for an extra fun picture, Chuck upgraded his boat. This one...
