The girls and I are finishing up our last 5 in a Row book, Robert Frost--Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening with Illustrations by Susan Jeffers. We are on our 2nd day with the book and it is snowing today, there is a layer of ice on top of the snow so we decided to go for one of our snow hikes (with the ice it helps for the kids to not sink down with every step). (Emma took my picture above as we were ready to go)
"Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though, 
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer 
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake. 
The only other sound's the sweep.
Of easy wind and downy flake. 
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep, 
And miles to go before I sleep, 
And miles to go before I sleep."
--Robert Frost

One of my favorite posts ever! Loved it; felt like I was there with you. Might have to copy your idea!
What a great day. Great poem, great company. Great adventure. Life is good.
