The family that cooks together eats healthy.

Black and Blue Family Duckies love to cook meals together. They make their own butter chicken and samosas from scratch. Pad Thai and shrimp salad wraps with peanut sauce are their favourite dishes. When they aren’t busy cooking, they go mountain climbing. The black duck is the mom and the blue duck is their son. The son looks just like his daddy.

The tinier the plane the better.

Aviation Ducky has had his pilot license for 5 years now. He is not the best lander. He averages about 1 crash per year. Thankfully he usually crashes into trees so he survives. He has been flung from planes a few times and manages to latch on to a branch and then climb down. He is wearing goggles, a scarf and a helmet because he often rides in planes with no roof or windshield.

Keeping people safe.

Policeman Ducky is best friends with Mini Cyclist Duck’s Dad, Cyclist Ducky. They went to highschool together and have been friends since that awkward first day of grade 10. They were both super skinny and had lots of zits. They started training for track and field together and have been friends ever since then.

Mini Cyclist Ducky wants to grow up to be just like his Dad, Cyclist Ducky. He has already been in a few triathlons and wants to do tour de France when he is old enough.

Mini Fireman Ducky is wearing a heavy hose around his neck. He has always dreamed of being a fireman. He once put out a fire that he started in a trash can at school. He was still expelled but has always been a bit of pyro. He is trying to be more controlled around fire. He started a really big fire at Boy Scouts and got in trouble for that too. Hi s favourite movie of all time is “Back Draft.”

3, 403 km - tour de France

As a wee ducky, I rode my sister’s tricycle for my first bike (the bike I am on in the picture). I rode her bike because my family couldn’t afford to buy another tricycle for the boy in the family. Her two wheel bike was red and I had the training wheels off the second time I rode it.

I have always enjoyed biking. I have cycled in the tour de France for the past 3 years. I have also biked in the 6 day Canadian Rockies bike tour. My bike is my transportation and I don’t have an off season. I am always training and always taking my bike somewhere. Next year, he is going to spend 5 years biking around the world.

Brooommmmm Vrooommm

These two rubber duckies are still available in quite a few toy stores. They might be Schylling brand but I don’t have the tag on them anymore. They were within in the first 20 rubber duckies that I ever bought.

Purple Hat Ducky: “After church today, let’s go for a car ride.” Blue hat Ducky: “Sweet, idea. Let’s pack a picnic lunch and head to the beach.”

Both these duckies always seem to be looking out to the left and they both have a quilted pattern on their wings and a slightly rosie patch on their wings. They look like they are dressed in their Sunday best.

We are see through.

Elephants Never Forget was my favourite store in the 124 street area (besides the Acquired Taste Tea Company which has the best tea). They are no longer in business, but they had a great selection of toys. I visited the store every few months and often found new ducks that I didn’t have.

There are 3 Sparkly Jelly Duckies in the set. The largest ducky in the set is yellow and has an orange beak and pink tongue. The pink baby girl ducky has a yellow beak and a pink tongue. The blue baby boy ducky has a purple beak and a mauve tongue.The pupils of their eyes look like pac man. Each of the ducks are see through and are covered in tiny silver sparkles. They are lightweight and ideal for the bath since they can’t get water inside them. I know squirty ducks are more fun but I worry about the soapy water rotting inside the ducks.
