Sorry for our absence lately! I know you were looking forward to Chuck and Buck’s parade debut but due to COVID, there was no pet parade :(. We still went camping though.... and actually went camping for a week vs just the weekend. (Kids on Christmas break, kind of close to home, and nothing better to do so why not?)

Two camping trips ago we learned that deer LOVE duck food. This past camping trip we learned that wild pigs do, too. Thankfully the boys sleep indoors and were already tucked in bed when we were sitting at someone else’s campsite and had our porch light on. They said, “Ummmm, there is something moving in your campsite” only to discover the wild pigs finishing off Chuck and Buck’s leftovers and drinking out of the boys’ kiddie pool. Gross. We spent the evening running the pigs off and even though we pick up all the boys’ stuff before bed, I stilled opened the RV door the next morning to a pig staring at me waiting for more.
We also discovered that Chuck loves going for bike rides. Buck does not. Ever see a kid riding his bike through the campgrounds holding a duck like a football? Definitely got strange looks.

Had a family with kids who saw us playing in the creek tell us that we weren’t the only people with ducks who camp. Thanksgiving week they saw some ducks up north camping that looked just like Chuck and Buck only to find out we must be on the same camping schedule because it was us they saw!

We had absolutely no reception and no way to post so here’s a few pictures from our New Years camping. We are heading out again this weekend for more bike rides and camping fun. Saturday Daddy Duck (James) and I are sneaking off in the morning for a quick Alcatraz swim (his 14th). Debating on if Chuck and Buck can handle the swim, too....Not too sure. Buck is a complete weenie in cold water. He was shivering in this creek and had to be wrapped in a blanket and snuggled for a good chunk of time after.

That's disappointing about the parade, but I'm glad you got to go camping and do something fun! I'm really loving Chuck on the bike. He looks HUGE!!

He is huge! Doesn’t help that he’s next to my kid who is so far from huge! It wasn’t easy riding him on the bike. James is trying to come up with a basket solution. He told me to just buy a bike with a basket so I can ride him around. Apparently boys bikes aren’t cool with baskets. Lol
 
Beware those pigs, i hear they can get pretty ugly

Yeah. Normally we run the other way. These were more scared of us than we were of them. It was like the deer at the last place we camped. Unfortunately they’re used to people. When we would see them, they would just wander off and come back when we were not scaring them off. They just wanted food and garbage. Pigs. Lol
 
what’s wrong with the one ducks eye?
Chuck and Buck got into a mating debacle. Again. Then for a week or so we put his drops in and it clears up. It’s happened twice. Both times before camping (happened over the summer) And of course that’s when the pictures come out.

It’s like kids who faceplant the day before picture day at school. Then for the rest of your life you get to see little Billy’s 2nd grade picture with him battered and bruised and you feel absolutely horrible. That’s the luck we have :)

I can come up with several ideas.... But I'm afraid they aren't very cool either. Things like:
Chuck in regular back pack!
Chuck in front baby bjorn pack!
Chuck in saddle bags!
Chuck in child bike seat!

I do like the front basket the best... But I understand how that isn't cool. I mean, I have one. And it has a pink flower on it.
