Hiking & Tracking Animals in the Snow

Hiking through the woods

Most kids love to go sledding, building a snowman, make snow angels, and more crazy stuff in the snow.  One of the first things our kids want to do is take a hike in the woods.  They love going through the woods, checking out the stream, and looking for various animal tracks in the snow.  We saw a lot of animal tracks and most of them I knew what they were there was only one set that had me stumped….still haven’t quite figured it out even after looking up pictures.

One of our favorite stops by the stream.  Always gurgling down hill even on the snowy days.

Lots of deer tracks going through the woods after the snow and ice stopped.

Brina brought the sled and was sledding down hills on our hike.  She managed to go around most trees.

Little tracks….

This was the one that perplexed me, it was as big as my hand and had 5 claws (or toes).

Lots of little bird tracks.

Skipper goes swimming in the creek even when its icy cold and snowing!

Talking, walking, and having fun in the woods.
