Quack quack quack quack - if I actually made my entry just duck noises, I wonder how that would go? Anyways, this entry goes out to my mum! Thank you for always being there for us and loving us no matter what, even when we yell and scream and get annoyed at one another. I wouldn't ask for any other mum, you rock my socks off <3 This entry today is about how we - my brother and I - celebrated Mother's Day with our la madre; hope you enjoy!

For Mother's Day this year, my mum wanted to do something a little bit different. Usually we just take her out to dinner and bask her in praise and whatnot, but this year we decided to go on a little bit of an adventure. We had learned prior that our state's capital of Boston, Massachusetts was hosting their annual Mother's Day "Make Way For Ducklings" parade, which if you've never heard of it is a day where kids and tikes alike dress up as little ducklings and parade around the city's common grounds with music, fanfare, and festivities all around. The parade itself is actually based off of the "Make Way For Ducklings" book, where this group of ducklings are led all throughout the city by it's mother until it reaches a nice little island to settle down and live on. Because the book was set in Boston, the city thought it would be a great way to celebrate it's fame as well as bring some fun to the city by making a day dedicated to the day. So of course we obviously wanted to go to it when we found out about it!

Overall it was a pretty good day! After we sat and watched the kids march around in their little costumes - and occasionally a small puppy dressed up as a lil' ducky - we decided to take a relaxing swan boat ride in the common's pond. I could tell by the look on my mum's face that she seemed to be having a pretty fun time, which is good because sometimes I think she overworks herself at times taking care of the family. Anyways, after the boat ride we went out to an area in Boston that was pretty famous for it's food trucks; there were about 12 of them in total and they had a whole smorgesbord of food available that it was nearly impossible to decide on what to get! And considering how our family is mainly Italian well...one can say that we really just wanted to eat everything there1!
