Even more of the First Big Adventure

Syracuse has had more than 70 inches of snow this December so it seemed like the perfect time to introduce Carter to the joys of being outdoors in the winter.   We had a great walk in our neighbor's back fields, but what we like best is tromping through the woods on snowshoes.
Happy to be outside!
I would say that Carter enjoyed himself, but since it was only 17F out there he was snuggled tight against me.  I'm pretty sure he slept the whole time...  Shaylie, on the other hand, tore tirelessly around the back forty in search of the rabbits she KNEW were there somewhere.

Carter was hard to see so I labeled him...
It might be corny, but being out in the silent snowy woods always makes me think of the Robert Frost poem.  We'll put that on the list to read with Carter some day.

You guys are the cutest. Glad you labeled the baby. Did you give him a cadet code too? :)
