Winter Family Walk.

Then we went for a lovely little walk along the river viewing the natural frozen beauty. It is amazing how things look so different in the wintertime. It was amazing to see parts of the river frozen, with the water rushing through the ice.

I love to see the wildlife doing it’s thing regardless of the weather. We saw bluebirds coming in and out of holes in old fallen trees. A large blue heron hunting for fish in the river and ducks lazily taking their baths as if it were spring time. There is a lovely little bridge that crosses over to another walking area that Eben was fascinated with. He loved that the water was frozen below us, he wanted so badly to walk on it.

It was fun to watch our dogs {Lilly and Sadie} plow through the snow, and watch Eben discover leaves, rocks and other hidden objects while we walked. The cold air was invigorating and the sound of our boots sloshing and slopping in the snow made us giggle. It is also amazing to me that little kids never get cold outside. Eben was in and out of the snow so much, that I worried that he would be soaked. He also loves to pick up the snow, taste it and play with it. Yet he never complained.

When we finished walking for the day, I looked forward to the hot tea awaiting our arrival in the car. I am always thankful that Mr. Sweet Greens plans ahead.
