A Refuge adventure

Sunday was such a beautiful spring day, we decided that we all needed to get outside in the great outdoors. So we headed for one of the many hiking trails available to us at the Sherburne County Wildlife Refuge. We loaded up the puppies and the boy's and we were off to explore!

As I look at this picture, it only now occurs to me that everyone in this household is a male except for me! I don't think that I like that too much! :)
While on our hour and a half hike, the puppies were in heaven, with so many things to smell!

We happened upon a lot of different things in the woods while out, obviously something got to this bird. Or what's left of this bird.
We also stumbled onto this skull, not quite sure what it is...
There was also a smaller version that Andrew had to bring home much to Brett's delight!
We also had our own Crocodile Hunter adventure, obviously not with crocks, but we did stumble upon quite a few snakes which of course all my guy's had to chase after!

Aside from all of the wildlife we saw, they were quite a few obstacles in our path that we all had to climb up and over our maneuver under.
It was really fun to see the puppies exploring, as well as Brett and the Boy's!

At the end of our adventure, we had two pooped puppies!
We came home and the kid's played some baseball with the neighbors...
Mom and dad enjoyed the fire...

And we finished the evening with one of our beautiful country sunsets!

I am so happy that Spring is here!!!

What a great day! And that sunset. I am jealous of the fire and sunset for sure.
