If you're very quiet, the chickadees will land on your hand and grab a seed (we found out they especially love peanuts, which another bird watcher gave to the children).
The girls were patient enough to get the birds to land on their gloves. Lewis just kept yelling "come here little woodpecker" and chasing them to offer a peanut!!
After an hour of feeding the chickadees, we went to another park to try some sledding. For the first time, the kids wanted to really sled down big hills - they were always too chicken to do it before! They LOVED it and stayed for a long time, even though it was SO cold. We had such a fun day.
Seeing little Analise flying down the hill on a sled was a riot! They slept well that night!

SHE IS SO CUTE! Of course, I am biased, as I am Aunt Suzie, and this is my very first blog posting.
