Nature Walk

If you've been around here long, you know that my girls and I love a good nature walk. The weather has put a bit of a damper on our outdoor time, but the other day we found a few drizzle-free hours, and headed outside!

Does she look like she's in awe that we've finally made it outside?

Sierra doesn't go anywhere without her camera. Like mother, like daughter ;)

Kenners quickly headed off to explore the creek.

And then we found this little guy. Can you see him in there?

The girls wanted a closer look.

And then someone got a little cranky that we weren't moving anywhere. This girl likes to be on.the.go!

Whew, that's better!

Next stop ~ the pond.

And even a little evidence that Spring may just be trying to make an appearance after all!

Then we came to Grandpa's pond {our property adjoins my parent's property}

And we noticed these little sacks floating around . . .

It didn't take long for Mama Frog to let us know that we'd better stay AWAY from her babies.

She seriously swam back and forth between Sierra and Makenna, coming up to the edge of the water, and giving them the "stare down". It was hilarious! After a minute or two we decided to leave her alone. Poor thing was just trying to protect her little ones.

I can understand that.
