Mother's Day Happy Ending

It's a little late for this story to be posted for Mother's day but it is still a good story! On May 8th, a mother Mallard duck took her five ducklings for a swim in the Piper Dunes pool and the when mom decided to leave, two of the babies couldn't get out of the pool. Recreation brought to the Nature Center the two Mallard ducklings in hopes we could find momma duck again to rejoin the family. Momma Manda warmed the ducklings back up again and brought them home for the night. After much care taking unfortunately one duckling got too cold in the pool the day of and didn't make it through the night. Momma Manda took the last duckling back to work on Sat. May 9th in hopes to find the mother Mallard. The Amanda's went to look for the mother Mallard as soon as they got in. After checking the pool areas, they headed to a small lake behind Little Dunes and to their surprise, they found mother Mallard! As Clark took pictures, Hardy held the little duckling. As he started crying for mommy, mother Mallard heard him! She's swam around the corner of some trees quacking loudly with her three little ducklings swimming as fast as they could to keep up. After a few moments to allow mommy to get a little closer, Hardy let go of the duckling. He stumbled down the little hill into the lake and swam to his mommy. They touched and mommy took him under her wing and they both swam away happy to have each other again!
