We are home! All 24 ducklings safely returned to their families! :) I'm now at ease knowing that they are all safe and most likely sleeping at this hour of the night.

However, I feel as though there's something missing tonight - no 11:30 or 12am rounds to say 'good night' or 'lights out.' I will miss my ducklings....

This trip has been an absolutely amazing experience for me as the Team Leader. I'm extremely proud of the effort put forth by this group of amazing students!
