Quack Quack Bang

We started our Saturday morning out with a bang - at least Ian did; several bangs, in fact.  He brought us home three dead ducks!  Not bad for opening day of the duck hunting season.

The boys were thrilled.  They are very much anticipating roasted duck breast for dinner in the near future.  By this point, they are completely cool with the animal to meat progression.  I am so proud.



In the afternoon Ian, Liam, Alistair and I supported Seamus in his first community service initiative as a Beaver Scout.  He collected funds for the Stittsville Food Bank.


Once again, I was very proud of my boys.  They were polite, well behaved and very effective at giving away free apples while soliciting donations for the food bank.  Alistair gave away many free smiles earning us some hard cash!

I would like to extend a gigantic "Thank You" to the McDonald's restaurant on Stittsville Main Street for supporting the Beavers in their charitable work.  Not only did they permit us to set up outside their restaurant but several staff members stopped to give the Beavers donations.  The manager even went above and beyond by rewarding the boys for their good work with complimentary meals at the end of our shift.  It was very generous and very much appreciated.  Please consider dropping in and giving this McDonald's restaurant your business.  I was most impressed with their community spirit and kindness.  Thank you!
