What an awesome walk we had!!!(and such a fine looking bunch with new haircuts!) We took new nets to the off leash dog area and walked to the pond. This has always been one of the families favorite local spots to explore. Today we saw lots of painted turtles, a few frogs, ducks, finches, jays and leaf hoppers. Despite seeing all of these wonderful things the kids were feeling a little disapointed that they didn't catch anything in their nets. On the way back, just before heading to the car, we stopped at the creek were the kids like to catch crayfish when the water is lower. It was here that Ben spotted a garter snake- and it was fast. After a little bit of a chase and lots of excited squeals Elias caught it. We all got a chance to hold it and get a close look. It was beautiful. The walk was finished on a very joyful note.
