It started last summer, going for walks on the beach boardwalk by our house.  She loved to make footprints in the sand, and check out the tracks left behind by the seagulls.  Fast forward a few months to winter, and she was over the moon that she could make visible footprints again in the snow… and better still, see all kinds of animal tracks in it as well.
