My good deed for the day?  

The kids and I spotted a mother duck escorting her NINE tiny ducklings across the supermarket parking lot.  Right across the three lane driveway next to a busy street!  

Why was she there?  Where was her mate?  The only thing we did know is that she was probably making her way to the canal.  We put on our super hero capes and came to her rescue.  Good thing too, with three business driveways to cross, through a parking lot, AND a crow coming after them, they clearly needed our help.  And of course I'm the super mother duck watching the duck family AND my five and eight year olds amongst the cars.  We scared the crow off after a few tries, and hand helped the smallest ducklings up over the curbs.  Mother duck seems to appreciate the help.   We escorted her all the way to the canal.  HOpe she stays there!
