Fun in the Snow


It is amazing how refreshing Sunlight can be.  Monday was actually above freezing, so the kiddos and I decided to spend some time outside.  This first picture is of the hole I dug to show how deep the snow is in the backyard.  
I built a small tunnel in the snow.  Both kids thought it was pretty great.  Before it was done, though, David wanted to see if it could also be a bridge.  
Unfortunately, it collapsed.  David was a little bit upset, but we were able to use the fallen snow to make a cool slide for the sled.  



Both David and Rebecca enjoyed riding in the sled.  Then, David wanted to make snow angels.

This is the first time all winter that he has been willing to wear his snow "plane jump-suit" and boots, so he was able to enjoy being in the snow for much longer. All in all, it was a fun outing. We are looking forward to more "warm" spells in the future.

  1. Heidi, You are a wonder. So many fun memories with the little ones. I am glad you are taking pictures so much. These fun times can be shared with others as these little ones grow. I look forward seeing many more. Lots of Love

  2. Now the kids look warm in their "jump-suit" but how did you stay warm? I get cold way too fast to play with the kids outside. Good for you!

  4. Heidi I'm glad that you had a little sunshine because we all need it for our spirit and well being. Your children are precious as usual and you are a wonderful Mom and Ganon is a wonderful hard working Daddy. I love you all and wish I could see you before the babies all grow up. Oh well maybe sometime.
    Stay warm and well!

  5. Here in the LA area the TV weather reports include the snow/ski reports and show happy families playing in the snow. You guys don't have to put on chains and drive up to the mountains to enjoy such fun. Good for you!
