The first sunny day

We went on a Nature Walk to the Tualatin Wildlife Preserve, which just happens to be about 5 minutes from here. We were accompanied by Kiernen's closest and most favourite companions, N and J, who are sisters.

No photos, as the lofeforms were too small, but we did see little round red things, little round white things, and what looked exactly like "Sea Monkeys" (which are I believe brine shrimp?)
