A Walk To Remember
Six year old Jack came to spend the afternoon with his Gramma yesterday. Since he is a great lover of animals and everything about animals, we decided to go for a walk in the new snow to see if we could find any animal tracks. We found a few. Deer, raccoon and rabbit, but not the fox tracks we were looking for. We knew that fox was back in the woods because it killed our chickens last summer. Jack also informed me that a fox was a "predator," and we should be careful.
We ended up walking through the "forest" behind our house and going all the way to the boy scout woods where we "discovered" an enchanted frozen lake. It was beautiful. Jack and I actually made more tracks than we saw, but it was okay. We had great fun, even though we both got tired and had to find some walking sticks. (Gramma had forgotten how difficult it is to walk in snow that's a foot deep, and in some spots, up to her knees!)
It was a special day with a special boy and this Gramma will be forever grateful I had the chance to make a memory with him.
