First Play in the Snow

At the beginning of January, after our second big snow but before the polar vortexes we decided to take Jackson out to play in the snow for the first time.

We got him all geared up with the boots, snow pants, hat, coat, and mittens (which took about 220 minutes), and went outside.

When we first got outside Jackson seemed to be indifferent about the snow.  Arnold put him in the snow and he was amused for a few minutes.

Arnold tried to show him how to make a snowball and then gave him some snow to eat.

Jack also made a baby snow angel.

While we were outside Jackson fussed quite a bit, but I think it was because he didn't like the boots.  We put him down but he refused to stand or walk with the boots on.  We ended up staying outside for no longer than 10 minutes because Jackson didn't really seem to enjoy it, and we haven't tried taking him out again since.  It's been way too cold but maybe we'll try again soon.  Hopefully he'll enjoy it more next time!
