Streetcar and The Peabody

Saturday the weather was perfect. We decided to get out of the apartment and go downtown. First off, we went to the Farmer's Market. I bought some fresh vegetables. I cannot wait until I can grow my own. Our new home has an area in the yard that will become our garden. Yay! Anyways, after getting the veggies, we decided to go on the streetcar. It takes you around downtown Little Rock, and then over the Arkansas River to North Little Rock. The streetcar was decorated just darling. It was fun.

Rob took this picture of Max. I thought it turned out really cute.

 

Looking at the sights.

 

Max telling his dad some very improtant things.

 

Once we got off the streetcar, we looked at the time and realized that if we walked quickly, we could make it to The Peabody Hotel by 11:00 for the ducks. For those of you who have never heard of the ducks at The Peabody, let me tell you it is quite a sight to see. Each day at 11:00, the "duckmaster" chooses an individual to help him go and get the ducks from the 2nd floor. The ducks arrive by elevator, and then scurry down the red carpet and into the pond. There is music playing in the background (I don't remember now what song) so the ducks know to perform. At 5:00, the ducks are escorted back to the elevator and up to their room. We were able to witness the whole ordeal. Max was thrilled to be able to see the ducks in the fountain. Max was also delighted to go up and down the elevator in the hotel.
