Day 24 - Beautiful Days

I’m thankful for beautiful days this time of year.  Days that are crisp, but not frigid, and when the sun shines at least a little bit.  Today was one of those days.  Pat had to work so I took the kids to Highbanks for a little hike.  We wandered down the forest paths, leaves crunching underneath our feet, searching for foxes 🦊 and eagles 🦅 (they really do have eagles there!).  Alas, we didn’t see any, although we swear we caught a glimpse!  We spent some time at the nature center before heading home for some holiday cheer.  The kids snacked on hot cocoa and cookies while watching a Christmas cartoon and then we attempted a Christmas craft with mixed results.  While waiting for our crafts to dry, I couldn’t resist getting the kids outside one more time so we headed to Perry Park for a little playground fun.  

I’m so thankful for the sunshine, the peace and the joy.
