Forty-ninth Passage

Snow day! The day after Christmas was great for playing in the snow. So David took the day off work, and since we had a family gathering at my parent's house later that day anyway, we just went earlier, and took advantage of their big lawn, and ATV's for some extra fun snow play.

A snowman was made. (Or, at least, started.) This is one photogenic kid.
 David worked on a snow cave. He started with a coat and gloves and scarf, but that didn't last long...

 Cousins playing and snowball fights.


 The trampoline was still a hit.

Lydia was very bundled, but still wasn't a big fan of being out in the cold. 

Owen in the completed snow cave.

And the sledding. This is how we've done it for years, but this is the first time I've done it with my kids. Morgan jumped right on and had a great time. If he fell off, he was quick to get back on.
David and I took a couple rides too. Still fun.
William and Owen were, surprise surprise, very resistant to the idea of sledding. But we kind of forced them to do it anyway. It didn't take William long to realize it was actually really fun.
Here's William and Emmy.
And a little video of Morgan and William. This was William's first ride. He actually wasn't too scared until after this one. He fell off, and even though it didn't hurt or anything, he was not keen on getting back on. But he did, and he had fun.

Playing in the snow is fun. I like it. But I pretty much just like it once or twice a year, then I am ready to be done playing in the snow.  And yet it remains, and deepens...
