The high temperature today was somewhere around 21 degrees, I think. We've been getting a little cabin fever around here, so undaunted by the frigid air, we bundled up and went for a winter nature walk (okay, maybe not undaunted, more like bribed with promises of hot cocoa afterwards).
A group of fellow home school families in Wichita had planned a field trip to the Great Plains Nature Center. We had a great time. The guide handed everybody "expensive" binoculars to bird watch with, and there were quite a few male and female cardinals, house finches, and others to see. We, of course, made pine cone bird feeders which we've noticed are the creme de la creme of bird feeders according to the birds in our area. They love these things! And we came home with our free full-color pocket guide to Kansas Raptors (that's always my favorite part).
And as promised we capped it all off with a trip to Starbucks (purely for the children).

I'm proud of you all for venturing out in the cold! I have not been so brave in the past couple days. Going out to church this morning is probably about as brave as I'll get! : )
