Ducklings Parade

fluffy

It's Boston's cutest tradition - the annual "Make Way for Ducklings" parade. Every Mother's Day, scores of kids dressed as ducks waddle, walk and get pushed from the Common up through Beacon Hill and down to the Public Garden - just like Mrs. Mallard and her brood in the famous children's book.

Does this kid have that look because he's tired of having his picture taken, or because he's dressed like that?

Aww how cute!! I think my mom has made me do something like that. Oh wait, she dressed me up as a tulip. Yep.

Oh yea.........it's REAL fun until you grow up and your mother shows everybody who comes to her house (even to fix the toilet) the pictures of you in a "Bunny Suit". Wait until these kids grow up. Thank God the INTERNET was no where around 47 years ago. Kids....."I feel yer' PAIN". Save these photos for use at the trial later.

Thanks.
