Our community has a rubber ducky race each year to benefit charity. It is free to attend and you can donate money to adopt a duck (or more) to participate in the race. We had the babies’ duck costumes from Halloween last year and found out that they still fit. It seemed like the perfect attire for the rubber ducky races. It was nice to go out and support a good cause (local health care for families in need) while enjoying a fun event.
The babies loved to see the colorful ducks ready for the race.
Our little ducks were dwarfed by the giant rubber duckies.
The babies posed with the rubber ducky races mascot.
The babies were lucky ducks and posed with Olympic athlete Lashinda Demus, who won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games in the 400-meter hurdles in 52:77. We had never seen an Olympic athlete or a real Olympic medal in person before we had the good fortune to meet Lashinda Demus. She was warm and friendly and it turns out she also coaches some very fortunate college athletes.
After all of the fun at the races, our little ducks enjoyed waddling through the field.
All in all, it was a wonderful day at the rubber ducky races. We enjoyed sharing community spirit with the babies. We want them to feel a sense of connection to their community as they grow. How does your family become involved in your community? I would love to hear your thoughts and stories. As always, comments are welcome.
