Winter Nature Walk

We had beautiful balmy weather yesterday (45 degrees) and were able to take a walk down to the post office. I took along this scavenger hunt list and we had an enjoyable time finding a variety of items and sights on the way. Not surprisingly it took us a whole hour to walk the 9 blocks to and from the post office, lol!
The kids all dressed up in their coats, boots, and gloves; we stayed plenty warm with the sun shining on us even though there was a strong North wind.
I strapped William (1yo) into the Ergo carrier and then topped it with DH's work coat which covered both of us plenty well indeed:)

Here is what we discovered on our "adventure".

• A tree that has lost all its leaves
• A tree with only a few leaves on it.
• An evergreen tree.
• Buds on trees.
• Animal tracks in mud
• A bird
• A pinecone
• Something with thorns
• The wind
• A bird chirping
• A smooth rock
• A tree with smooth bark
• A tree with rough bark
• Something wet
