Snow fun take 1

V had two things on her to do list while on our Christmas vacation: Play in the snow and build a snowman.

Cousin snow sledding day happened in a bit of a blizzard. Grandma and Aunt Shannon watched the babies at Grandma's house which was such a blessing. They would have been so miserable.

Despite the freezing wet snow the kids had fun.

We took them for hot cocoa and fries to warm up after.

Snow day

Day three was a relaxing day spending time with the cousins at Grandma’s house. Day four was SNOW DAY!  All the kiddos were excited to head up to Cedar and play in the snow.

Kaylee remembers snow. Regan does not. He foolishly dove into the snow before we finished gearing him up. He quickly learned that one NEEDS gloves for making snow balls.

Kaylee was most excited to make snow angels.

We tool the kids to the smaller slopes so they could climb up themselves. It’s a work out hauling kids up snowing slopes. Them crawling up most of the time help a ton!

Shannon and Dwayne tried racing, but Shannon totally biffed it. It was very funny.

Shannon helping her Daddy-O down the hill with a swift kick to the tukkis. You can see my dying with laughter in the background! Too Funny!

And this is how our adventure ended. Kaylee got mowed over (by that I mean she got bumped into. not hard.) twice in a row, and her (loose) gloves popped off. After that she was DONE. “My hands are freezing, and I’m NEVER going to see them again!”
Not dramatic at all that one.
Regan looked the same because he was NOT done. We didn’t get a photo of his sad face though.
I must say visiting the snow is SO much nicer than living in it!

More SNOW?!?!

It seems like just when the last of the snow has melted, that’s when a new storm rolls through……….. Well what do you do when it snows? Go sledding of course. Our sweet niece Sarah called us Saturday morning and asked us to go sledding. So that’s what we did. Kaylee and Jon went down the hill once together, and Jon ended up spinning around backwards. Kaylee and I went down together twice. Then we watched everyone build a giant snowman. It was a really fun morning. Sorry the pictures aren’t the best. We forgot the camera so we used our phones, but you get the idea. Thanks for inviting us to play Sarah.
