Why did the ducks cross the road?

The last time I was in Billings I saw something in person I'd never seen before.  You know the email forward that goes around showing the 'crazy pictures' and you always wonder how someone just happened to have a camera.  One of the pictures is of a momma duck and her ducklings crossing a scary busy road.  Well that's what I saw!  No kidding....and even crazier I saw it twice.  Two different groups of ducklings I'm sure since I saw them on different sides of town.  The first was right by Target and the second was near the on-ramp to the interstate.  Crazy!   I know! 

I happened to have my camera and was able to snatch a picture of the first group once I pulled safely into the Target parking lot (not that I was going to Target to shop....).  I almost ran over the little ducks as they were walking down the side of the road....how they managed to cross over four lanes of traffic....whew, God obviously was watching over His special creatures. I couldn't get a picture of the second group because the traffic was too heavy but, it's the sweetest thing watching cars stop to let a line of ducklings pass.  Shows there's still some humanity left in all of us. 

So, why did the ducks cross the road?  To get to the park of course!
