Snakes alive!

It's been a weird fall. We could very well get snow by the end of the week, but the past few weeks have been downright beautiful. People have been jogging in shorts and tanks. Our little family took in the beautiful weather this weekend at a nearby park. We spotted a garter snake while on our way to the prairie trail--seeing a snake up here in November is unusual. He (or she) was nice enough to pose for me.

Jack looks like a little animal with his ears perked up in the middle of the grasses.

We spotted a bald eagle, a hawk, and several other birds. This state really does have the best parks that are only a short drive (or walk) away.















Jack was in the middle of a rough weekend of teething and whenever he is in a bad mood, we usually head outside because that always perks him up. He wasn't particularly jolly on this jaunt, but he did tolerate us. Heaven help us in the winter when we can't go outside for that pick-me-up.
