On the seventh day of Christmas..............

My True Love Gave to me...................Seven Swans a Swimming, Six Geese a Laying, Five Golden Rings, Four Calling Birds, Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree!
 

I should have brought the sign with us but I didn't think of that!


Out for a walk!


Look SWANS!!!!

Swans are not native to Washington.

 
But in 1993 Madigan Army Hospital got permission to bring in 2 swans named
Maddie & Lewis







Now you might say..... That's not 7 Swans!!!!


True! But I did get 7 Canadian geese a swimming and that's like the PNW Swan.

And really I got 2!!! For a non native bird~ that's impressive! I could have Photo Shopped 5 more in, but that wouldn't be right! LOL

The 7 Swans a Swimming stand for the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit.
I have never heard of the seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit....
So with a little research I found they are~

Wisdom
Understanding
Counsel
Fortitude
Knowledge
Piety
Fear if the Lord


So the kids snacked on my cashews....


While I made Chex Mix.

Happy New Year!!!!!
