SNOW

A couple of weeks ago it snowed. Alyssia was so excited. She's been praying for snow all winter and almost everyday (sometimes twice a day) we read this book about snow--"Snow! Snow! Come out in the Snow! Do you like snow? I want to know?" Ben got to take a few hours off to play with us in the snow and we had such a great day.

Using an old boogie board, Ben pulled Alyssia up and down the driveway while she held on tight. She loved it.

After we went inside and warmed up for a while, we went to Kinder Farm Park and went for a walk. It was so still outside and beautiful. We saw a fox, twice! Alyssia does not like foxes. Every story we've ever read, if it has a fox in it, she declares, "I don't like that fox." So, luckily, the fox we saw in the woods was far enough away that she was ok, but she did tell us she didn't like him. We also saw some beautiful birds, red and blue. Before we left the park, we went on the swings, which is Alyssia's favorite thing to do.
When we got home, I saw a huge falcon in my backyard, way up high in a Poplar tree. Beautiful day.
