This is Lilo and Blackie.............. 

Dallin's 1st grade class has had these ducks since they were eggs.  They have learned how to care for them and clean up after them.  Students have to take turns taking the ducks home each night.  We were the lucky ones this night.  Poor Zoey had to stay away from the ducks. All the kids loved them, even Camden who I thought would be a little scared.  (And he was at first!!)

I was so proud of Dallin.  He was so cute with Lilo and Blackie.  He knew just what to do and exactly how to take care of them.  He cleaned up after them and fed them and did everything for them with only a little help from me, but he told me exactly what to do and how to do it.  

This is the proper way to hold a baby duck.  You have to hold her wings and feet so she doesn't try and get away and you drop her.

Abby, Lex, Chase and Lisa came over to see the ducks and play with them.  We put a plastic tablecloth down and let them walk around.  We were very careful not to let them on the carpet!! They can be quite messy!!

Kennedy loved them and even cried when we had to take them back.  Dallin came home from school yesterday and told us the ducks went back to the farm and that sent Kennedy into another round of hysterics.  Did I mention she was a girl and VERY dramatic!

Lilo and Blackie thought it was really cool to peck at the toy laptop.  The loved hearing the sounds.  It was quite funny.  

It was fun having the ducks and we even got a good nights sleep.  They are quite messy though.  It felt like we were cleaning their cage every second.
