Today, the sun was actually shining - the snow on the sidewalks was melting and everything! It was shining long enough for me to bundle up myself and Leah after school, find Lucy's leash, dig out the jogging stroller, clean off the cobwebs, and go for a little jog/walk with my little friends. They were both incredibly excited about it.
Leah kept saying, "Nooooo!" when I put the weather guard down so she wouldn't have wind in her face, and giving me the dirtiest looks through the little window on top of the stroller. She would pull the clear shield to the side and stick her bundled little head out into the breeze. What a kook! She loves the snow and wind - a true midwest kiddo. Then, there was Lucy, who hadn't been in close proximity to a squirrel in a week or so and could barely contain her hunting instincts. Lucy kept walking into the stroller, because she didn't want to walk in snow and puddles. (?!) I honestly thought the tire was going to wear off a patch of her fur she was walking so close. Leah thought her antics were hilarious, while I found them a bit obnoxious. It was a fun mini outing none the less, and I am always grateful for a sunny day in winter!
The pictures below are from a few snows ago when I took Leah and Lucy out into the backyard for some exploring...until Leah got tired of wearing mittens and I was afraid the Lucy kisses would lead to frostbite...
