I don't know I took these about a year ago and had forgotten about them as that were captive and when we were talking about Stem Trains they came to mind so I thought I would share them.

Lol, Thanks.
The mother kept ducking the youngsters and wouldn't let them out of the water. She was teaching them to swim.

Why didn't I do that with SOME of my charges
