Kevin and I felt like Officer Clancey in Robert McCloskey's Make Way for Ducklings book. Last week a family of Canadian Geese with 5 little goslings wandered up our road and into the school yard. We followed them to get a photo, but it became pretty clear that they were headed for the river which meant crossing one of the main streets. So we followed them and when they decided to cross, we stopped traffic to let them pass safely. Kevin (who took these photos) followed them down to the river, helping them avoid cats and more cars and a precarious fall from a terraced garden.
The kids thought it was a great story - and we read Make Way for Ducklings the next day.
