What's a duck to do?

Yesterday the kids wanted to make a stop at Deering Oaks Park to take a photo of the Flat Stanley they are currently hosting (this one is from Oregon). But to my 7-year-old's horror, the duck house in the pond was missing!

Where are the ducks going to sleep? G. asked.

L. was really bummed out, "The poor ducks! They don't have a home!"

It looked to me as if the Public Works Department might have brought the duck house in for some routine maintenance since the pond was partially drained. But that didn't make the kids any happier.

I hope the ducks fly south soon. They are going to be cold without their house.

Poor ducks!
