Sunday was another beautiful day.....and even better because Daddy was able to take a nature walk with us!   The girls were eager to show him their river. 

Claire found a clam shell.

Here is Anna sitting on the river bank.

Then we backtracked and took the "upper" trail, the trail we haven't explored yet.  Those looking down, not up, were greatly rewarded on this nature hike!  First, we found several of these tracks:

We're pretty sure those are deer tracks. 

Then, we found more tracks!  I'm still trying to identify these.

And then, even more tracks!  These could be racoon tracks.

And then we found these.  I'm pretty sure these are little girl tracks......

Specifically, these are Audrey tracks ;-)  She was so excited to look down in the sand and see hearts from the bottom of her shoes.  She even said, "Look, Mom!  Heart tracks!"  It was good to see that she was enjoying the track-hunting sport so much!

Audrey was also thrilled to find life bursting forth from some of the branches that seemed so dead a week ago:

I'm not sure what kind of tracks Drew was trying to make, but we're thinking it has something to do with sand angel tracks:

It was a fun nature walk, full of discovery!  And the best part of all, it was shared with Daddy!  Here we made our own stroller tracks as we left the woods.

I love reading your nature walk updates. I truly enjoy neature walks myself, but this winter has been so hard to get out due to rain and freezing temperatures. I keep hearing Charlotte Mason in my mind saying that the children should be outside no matter what the weather. Now, I see your blog and am inspired to get out there.
