Jan 14th tracking

 Elli couldn't wait to get out in the snow even though it was only about 20 degrees.  She looked out her window that morning and saw tracks:)  In the pic above she is pointing them out to me and beckoning me to follow with her.

 During our hunt, we found tracks for cats, birds, and deer!  I took a picture and asked Brent just to be sure, but he agreed, a deer made its way through our yards.  Elli and I had fun coming up with stories about the animal tracks we found, where they might be going, what they might have been doing.  Great way to use imagination!

 We of course are unable to be in the snow without a little snack.  She eats snow whenever it is available.

Though it was a little too cold to roll snowballs, we were able to mound up the snow enough to get a snow mound.  We even found a couple sticks for her arms.  Elli loves to play in the snow.  I have to admit, I do too:)
