Alex and Michael went down to Chocolate Lake early this morning.  They brought back a baby duck.  The mother duck and her other ducklings had all disappeared leaving this duckling to fend for himself.  The boys put him in one of the upstairs bathtubs and tried to feed him corn and cereal.  The duck stayed for about an hour and then the novelty wore off and the boys took him back to the water.  James said he would be fine because the minute baby ducks are born they can take care of themselves.  He is going to be lonely if his family doesn't return.

I took Alex, Michael, and Joe to town around noon with the intention of dropping them off at the theater to see Spiderman but on the way in to town they decided they would rather go get something to eat at El Rancho.  At least that's what Alex decided and the other guys went along with him.  After lunch we stopped at Home Depot to get a part for James but I got frustrated because I couldn't find the right part and the boys were stressing me out so I left.  Sorry James.

When we arrived back at the cabin Sheri, Ian, Ben, Ian Wanlass, Max and Evan were there.  I sat on the front porch and visited with Sheri and Trina and then we decided we needed to go shopping so we left Ian and James in charge of the kids.  While at Walmart we played "the people of Walmart".  I got the best pictures.  I also took pictures of the bare shelves.  The store was so shopped out it looked like they were going out of business, especially in the grocery department.
