SNOW DAY

,

For all the Americans reading, yes I said SNOW ha ha.  It is winter down under  so even though you are all enjoying the wonderful warm weather and sandy beaches I'm shivering in my britches.

We bundled all of the kids into cars bright and early this morning, my brother and sister took the day off work and we headed off to the snow.  This was the twins first time seeing snow and they LOVED it.  The whole drive through the mountains Marisol stared out the window saying 'wow, wow'.  I thought for sure that she would have a meltdown of epic proportions once she set foot on the fluffy white stuff though because she'd be too cold and snow would get in her eyes but nope, she was happy as a little clam.

I loved driving through this 'winter wonderland', it was so beautiful … well except for the trees pelting us with massive snowballs – bad trees, baaaaad.

Yes even I braved it and took Miss M on a toboggan ride. Big brave me!

Marisol and Flynn loved being pulled around on the toboggans.

Flynn was so happy playing in the snow.  Here's Marisol checking out the little snowman that her Auntie Deb and cousin Callan made – she was patting it on the head.

Jay decided to stand on the toboggan on one of the steeper slopes.  Check out the giant snowball.  Muscles.

  2. What fun! Last year Liam and Brenna hated it, maybe they will enjoy it more this year. We have such a short summer here, I am not envious though, the snow will be here before we know it.

  3. I can’t do snow. I guess it would be good to drive to it when you wanted to play in it. Kind of like going to a waterpark in the summer. It’s so not fun when it disrupts everything you need to get done. In NJ it butts in. In Vermont it’s an afterthought.
