However, my favorite moment of this bowling game was watching Austin between his turns create a dot-to-dot on his Magna-doodle. He then gave it to Great Gram to complete. I love watching his creativity...
This weekend was filled with some fun activities too. Since it has been snowing again, Friday afternoon we headed to a park with some good hills to go sledding. It was about time...we hadn't even been yet this season! Surprisingly enough, we had the area to ourselves.
And despite a wipe-out or two...
We had a really great time. I was so impressed that Austin was even brave enough to go down the hill on his own a couple times. Previously, such an idea has been out of the question.

Then Saturday morning we once again headed out in the cold...this time for a hike with the Wolf Cub Scouts. Some of the boys needed to get a short mile long hike in before their birthdays. There are not as many good hiking options at this time of year, but we ended up doing the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve Boardwalk Trail. This is probably not the best time of year to view lots of birds there, and going with a small group of noisy boys does not make for great wildlife viewing in any case. However, we did find what looked like an owl nest at the lookout tower, along with a number of owl pellets. We also spotted a Red Winged Blackbird.
Austin loves tagging along with the older boys, so he had a great time too. In fact, he always wants to be involved when we have the den meetings each week at our house. We are thinking he may have his Wolf by the time he is seven...
After the hike we returned to our cars and enjoyed some hot chocolate and doughnuts. I love having hot chocolate after outdoor winter activities!
