Winter Wildlife

This morning we bundled up and headed down to the lake.

We played at the playground . . .

. . . and had fun with the stomp rocket launcher "Daniel" gave Joy for Christmas.

We took a short hike by the lake, and saw a gopher in its natural habitat. We also saw a bald eagle, which I've never seen in the wild before. Alas, I didn't get a decent picture to share.

Daniel's obsession with doors and light switches continues. I wouldn't mind him constantly opening the front door if it weren't so dang cold outside. We eventually barricaded that door so the drafts wouldn't come in . . .

. . . and the cooties wouldn't get out.
