More Deerless Hunting

When Ben and I were first married I enjoyed getting up early, sipping hot cider, getting all bundled up and driving through the woods looking for deer in our little Toyota. We don't get up quite as early, but we did spend the entire day driving to different areas to look for deer. I packed us a little "picnic" with summer sausage, salami, crackers, cheeses, pretzels, pickles, olives and chips so we could have little snacks along our journey. We were expecting snow. Taylor was thrilled when it finally came...
Some higher elevations already had a little snow on the ground so we stopped to play in it for a little while. It was very cold, but Taylor didn't mind a bit, as she proudly holds up her "snow ball."
It was a little later in the afternoon before the fresh snow began to fall. Taylor tried to catch some on her tongue...
She ran around and danced in the snow as it fell...
She can't wait to have enough to really play in...maybe we can make a snowman this year. At the end of the day, we had only seen one deer on the side of the highway as we were heading out of town, but we did see seven elk. Too bad they are not in season.
