Carter and Daddy took advantage of having Veterans day off and we headed to the Sierra Nevada's for the night. We stayed in Huntington Lake where the temperature was in the low 40's and the air had the fresh scent of the controlled burn that was posted about every 5 miles on the drive up.
When we woke up in the morning Carter began his favorite mountain ritual.... climing the stairs. The condo has two sets of stairs inside and one set of stairs outside. Carter loves to go up and down the stairs and, as it turns out, this was the most hiking he did on our trip.
I was originally hoping to do two short hikes with Carter but the cold temperatures and the temperamental two year old quickly put a halt on that idea. Carter and I took a short hike to Indian Pools where Carter proceeded to pick up every rock in the area and return them to the river.
The highlight of the hike was Carter learning to put his hands in his pockets. His little digits were cold so I shoved them in his vest pockets to his delight. He was smily happy when I realized that this was a first and I should snap a pic. As soon as the camera came out Carter tripped on a rock in the path and CRASH down went Carter. As I was dusting him off and calming him down he kept blubbering a word I couldn't make out. After he calmed down enough to get the word out I realized that he was saying "pockets" and he wanted me to show him how to put his hands in his pockets again. Which we did and this picture is from about 30 seconds later.
