Exploring Nature with Aunt Teen

Here also is Flat John preparing to climb a boulder.  It was hard.  His new boots have good traction.  Lucky!

Here are various signs of the enemy.  They are geese, their tracks, and their droppings.  Aunt Teen has nothing against them except their droppings, which are EVERYWHERE in the fields.  The snow covered them up for a few weeks, and Aunt Teen hoped they would be gone when the snow melted, but no, they are still there, fresh as daisies. 

There were two flocks of geese today, and one flew away when Flat John and Aunt Teen went sledding.

Here is Flat John sledding on two different hills.  One of them is short and steep, and one is long and not steep.  In one of the pictures, he is on a jump that kids left on the hill.  It's upside down.  To use it, you turn it over and cover it with snow, and sled over it. 

We are not sure what that pink thing is that we used for a sled.  Aunt Teen found it in her office supply closet.  Flat John thought maybe it could be a boat, too.  Aunt Teen said maybe, when the snow melts, they would try it.  That snow is almost three weeks old.  There is still a lot.

Here is Flat John playing in some rocks, sledding down a steep bank, and tree climbing.  He got a lot of exercise today.
