Duck Migration--Chicago Style

Submitted by David Cardinal on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 15:24

Never having been to a rubber duck race, we were not sure what to expect...but organizers assured us that we would not be disappointed by the sight of 30,000 rubber ducks being dumped off a drawbridge and "raced" down the Chicago River.
So we sought out the best photo location (to put the ducks in their best light) and joined the throngs awaiting this annual charity fundraiser. We were not uninterested bystanders, having "adopted" a half a dozen of the little fellahs we were convinced we could combine a great family photo outing with that dream vacation they were giving away.
