Snow Day!


Last week we had our first good snowfall, a solid nine inches in one night.  We do get snow here, but not often a lot at one time and not very long-lasting.  Both Ezra and Maren were most insistent on having snow play time, and they had fun for about an hour and a half.  They played on the fort, swung on the swings, scooped and piled snow all the over the yard, filled dump trucks, and plowed snow with the toy lawnmower.  We started a snowman in the front yard, but it never amounted to much more than a lumpy hill about two feet tall because our snow is so light and fluffy when it first falls.       

Maren and Ezra on the run, pretending to be polar bears in the Artic.
Maren loves the snow this year--hooray!
Happy boy!

Wow.
We thought we liked the snow but I don't remember us playing that long when we were that young.
Go you for kids who like the environment into which they were born!
