Going on a Tiger Hunt

Today it is so beautiful outside. It is in the 40s here! Actually, it has been mild the last couple weeks and generally very sunny. (40s compared to the 20s in December seems so pleasant, trust me!) The snow is melting and almost gone at our house and the walks are totally cleared. So, I wanted to take advantage of the sunshine, but Timmy was not at all excited. It generally takes some coaxing to get him out of the house and face the world where dogs occassionally roam the streets. :) Desperate to enjoy the sunshine with happy kids, I told him we would go on a tiger hunt. Mary, who usually doesn't want to walk more than a few steps on a walk, walked the whole time and kept up with us. We had so much fun that by the end, every few feet they would see a tiger that they had to shoot with sleeping darts, cover with snow or sneak past. By that point, my creativity was drained and I let them come up with the scenarios. My creativity is a little limited at times with "kiddie fun" but when I push myself it can be really fun and they usually pick up on the creativity where I leave off.Here is another picture my cousin Elise took of Tim.
