Outdoor Activities for a Beautiful Day

We will admit that we are still recovering from the rain day after day, but yesterday qualified as a beautiful day no matter what the comparison. And beautiful days have to be celebrated with outdoor activities.

The colors of our leaves were brilliant against the blue sky.

And what sort of outdoor activities do we like to celebrate. One of our favorite is a group activity:

grub hunting - outdoor activities

Grub hunting

Lots of rain brings the grubs to the surface and they are quite the delicacy. Hu-Dad is particularly impressed with our landscaping skills.

sentry duty

Sentry duty

Nothing is better than taking control of the picnic table and handling sentry duty. The view is spectacular. Just ask Frankie.

next meal

Asking when the next meal will be served.

Uh, Qanniki, inquiring about the meal schedule is not technically an outdoor activity. And you do it rain or shine. But, come to think of it, we do enjoy snacks!

    How great to hunt for their own food, just like their wolf ancestors.

    Yayy! Business as usual, I guess! No, really, it sounds rather serene.

    Mom sez: Sitting here wondering who is happiest with the resumption of outside activities — The Herd, or the Hu-Dad? Or is it about equal?

Our winter may have been mild so far, but, like much of the east coast, we had a little snow this week. And so we had a little fun.
