Our little family is ready for a new year and new experiences! On New Year's Day, we went on a little road trip to find snow. We headed east to Darrington and built a snowman at a park there called "Old School Park." We used peanuts to make our snowman's face from the snacks we packed to bring along.
We also took down our Christmas tree and decided to share it with the birds! The idea came from the book, The After-Christmas Tree. Sienna had checked it out from her school library to read over Winter break. We had a new experience that day! We ended up getting locked out of our house and had to call a locksmith to get us back in. Luckily, Mama had brought her phone outside to take photos of the tree.
The birds have been loving our offering to them! The pinecones are almost all empty now.
This weekend, we headed over to the Skagit Eagle Festival in Concrete. We explored the Bald Eagle Interpretive Center and found an old log cabin from 1891. The mama of the cabin planted a rose bush, which is still there today!
We also learned that a ferry was used to cross the Skagit River to Rockport before the bridge was built in 1961. The ferry was quite icy!
Wishing you a year full of new experiences and possibilities, too!
