Sunny... but Snowy Saturday Stroll!!

We had our first glimpse of sunny, NON-FREEZING (mind you it was still cold, but we just HAD to get OUT!!!) weather on Saturday.  My sis-in-law had called to go on a walk with her, so the girls and I set out.  We ended up walking all over town and to the Nature Park on the other side of town.  We tried to play on the playground, but as you can see the amount of snow on the ground caused some difficulty.  

(Does this picture look familar to anyone else?  How funny!)

(How about this one?  I promise these were taken this year! And at a totally different park!)

We then tried to teach the girls the art of climbing trees.  Haha!  We were actually attempting a great photo op.  But this stubborn little girl would NOT look at the camera. 

Both the girls in the trees.  They thought it was so much fun!

The girls eventually got too cold, and I was tired of tromping through the snow to save them, so we decided to continue our walk.  There is a pathway going from the park to the nature ponds, where in the summer there are TONS of ducks and geese.  We thought we would venture that way to see if there were any brave birds there. Totally doubtful! But to my surprise there were actually quite of few.  (True Idahoan birds we have here!)  We fed them some crackers, which they greatly enjoyed and wanted more of.  They must of been starving, because they came right up to us, begging for more.  The girls didn't like that very much, and it was too close for my comfort, so we high-tailed it outta there. 

Before the birds knew we had food! (*Notice the birds)

Sensing that we had something to offer.

After the birds found out we had food! 

They were ready to attack.  You would have ran too if you would have seen the size of the geese!  They were HUGE!!!

We had a great morning, but the girls and I were chilled to the bones by the time we got back. 

Warmer weather PLEASE COME SOON!!! So we can do this again!
