What a beautiful day last Sunday! We piled in the car with our pic-nic lunch, for some much needed exploring. We found ourselves heading in the direction of the fishing lakes that surround this area. We would just turn down each dirt road that came into sight. What a surprise to find turns and hills that would open up to such secluded and pretty places. We noticed fog was lifting into the sunshine from one area, so we had to check it out. When we came down the road, we were itching to hike around, so we did. The kids loved the hawks that were soaring high above, but throwing the big rocks out onto the ice was the best.
Soda Lake Nature Reserve was a great find for all kinds of animal tracks. Im sure Olivia's prints are still there; as she was sinking in he mud up to her ankles to rescue her stranded sister. Ethan couldn't resist comparing his hand to the unknown bird's. My next purchase is definitely a tracking book; but quite sure the bottom is of a raccoon.
