Peabody Ducks

This was my favorite picture of the day.
(on the trolley)

Today we went to famous Peabody Hotel in down town Memphis to see the Peabody ducks. Now those of you who are from around here sorry, I have to explain this. Every day at 11:00 these 5 ducks come down from where they live on the roof somewhere. The duck master brings them down the elevator, they ride to the bottom floor, then they walk across the red carpet to the hotel fountain. Then at 5:00pm they walk the red carpet again to the elevator and go up to their home! I guess they are trained and are only on the job for 3 months before a new set of ducks takes their place.

They let the little kids sit right up next to the red carpet. Rhylan, as you could guess, loved watching the ducks walk right by her only inches from her fingers! Here are some pictures of the ducks and Rhylan checking them out!


Then we got on a trolley and rode around the downtown area and by the mighty Mississippi River. She loved that part too.
