Another activity that kids have a lot of fun with is feeding birds in the winter. It's kind of exciting because you get to see a lot of really colorful birds, they stand out in the snow and you can do games with the kids where, you know who can see the first Cardinal or the first Blue Jay that comes after you put the food in the bird feeders. So it helps them to learn about nature and you can make games out it and it gets you outside. I know for my kids, they definitely appreciate watching the birds enjoy the food that we take out there. So just you know another activity to get you outside. Okay Bailey right over there. It's nice to have some feeders that are low enough so the kids can actually put the bird seeds in themselves. I have a few that are a little bit higher up.

Alright, come here, will you hold that for me? Yes, there you go.
