1. Over the weekend, a port in Tacoma, Washington hosted a vessel that's very different from a ship. The World's Largest Rubber Duck sailed in on Friday.
The so called "Mama Duck" weighs 15 tons and she's six stories high.
She was displayed during a sail ship festival that was going on through the weekend.
Mama Duck wasn't available to ride, she is only a viewable attraction.
2. Lots of dads enjoyed their free day of watching top women golfers from around the world, but it was extra special for one dad.
With father and Coach Dave Henderson and other family members watching, 19-year-old Brooke Henderson from Canada won the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday.
This was her fourth LPGA tour title, holding off Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson by two strokes.
Henderson closed with a 66 on the Blythefield layout that was reduced to a par of 69 because the fifth hole was played as a par 3 instead of a par 5 because of flooding on the course.
Also organizers say this year`s classic raised at least $1 million for Meijer’s Simply Give, which stocks food pantries in the Midwest.
This would bring the total amount of money raised over the last four years to more than $3-point-1 million dollars.

5. Online retail giant Amazon just announced it's buying Whole Foods for nearly $14-billion.
Amazon says Whole Foods will continue to operate under the same name as a separate unit of the company and will also keep its headquarters in Austin, Texas.
Experts say the deal shows amazon's interest in operating traditional brick and mortar stores, and its growing interest in groceries. Amazon already has a grocery delivery service called "Amazon Fresh".
