Our Duck Friend

We rode our bikes to the lake today and made friends with a duck! At first I thought the kids were bothering the duck. Then we walked over to the dock. Pretty soon the duck was by the dock as well. We thought it a coincidence until we started walking around the lake and it totally followed us! It stopped whenever we stopped and even turned around to go back down the trail when we did.  It particularly stayed close to me. When the kids left me, the duck stayed by my side. When I moved, the duck moved. What a hoot!
