“Bathe at your own risk.”

A few weeks ago in this blog post, I was saying that I haven’t gone on a girls’ road trip for a while. Today, I am in Canmore for one night and two days enjoying a girls’ weekend with four other friends. I will also be doing a photo shoot of my winter rubber duckies for future blog posts.

Night of the Living Duckies is a set of 4 rubber ducks and a Halloween book about the ducks. These ducks are my favourite Halloween ducks. Each ducky is about 1 inch tall. Wolfy ducky is the star of the book. He is on the far right in the photo. He is a were-ducky and is quite fierce looking, but if you read the book you would see that he is actually a scaredy-cat. Wolfy is my daughter’s favourite ducky out of the set.

Franco (closest to the book in the photo) is my favourite. He is a green Frankenstein ducky but everyone calls him Franco for short. He has stitches on his left wing, cheek and left side of his beak. Mummy on the far left of the photo is your basic mummy but he has a dark black eerie shadow coming out of his mask by his eyes. Draco is the vampire ducky and he is sitting between Wolfy and Franco in the photo. He is wearing a black and red cape and has two fangs protruding from his beak.

Basking in the sun.

It’s really too bad that Greenwoods' is no longer in business. However, I’m sure it’s tough for independent bookstores to survive with the chain bookstores and online shopping. My husband’s uncle worked at Greenwoods' and my daughter loved playing the in the kids area of the store.

My daughter’s grandparents bought her the Ducky family. They are primary colours and all the baby ducks fit inside the mommy. They all have blue heads, but the baby ducks don’t have distinct red eyes like the mom’s. Their heads turn but they are really difficult to turn.
