Foto Friday

Amazingly enough, I actually have some photos for this Foto Friday some of my own, no less. The first was taken on a recent walk with Cuppa along a path which winds near the river at certain points.





Above: we took Nikki Dee to our local McDonalds, inside the friendly confines of Wal-Mart. You might wonder why we would choose to go to the McD inside WM. Two reasons: (i) it's one place where we can walk on a cold winter's day; (ii) it's the only McDonalds in this town! I had taken her once previously, but she's older now and was, therefore, given a few fries to enjoy. Just her, of course: that's not really my hand snatching another one.

Below: after Wal-Mart and McDonalds, it was off to the library for her first visit. She scrambled here and there and even looked through a book or tow.





On another day we took her out for a winter walk but didn't stray far from the house. She is fascinated with trucks and buses, so much so that we finally had to drag her away from the one above. Or perhaps she just wanted to get at the salty snacks inside (that's my girl!). we'd walk her away from the truck, but she'd soon turn around and head back. She wasn't at all happy with us for doing forcibly removing her, but we had to, and she was soon diverted when we plopped her into the snow (below).





She liked the snow so much that you could say she ate it up (above). Yes, she munched on it for quite some time before coming in very rosy-cheeked (below).



On yet another day, the snow banks were piled quite high, so Grampa was called upon to hoist her up and let her slide down. What the clip doesn't capture is how many times Grampa and his poor, old back had to perform this prodigious lift.
