Snow Fun

It took us about 20 minutes to get dressed in snow clothes this morning, which meant I wanted us to spend at least that long outside. No worries today; we were all outside for about 2 hours, in both blowing snow and empty (though not clear) skies. We trekked across the yard, threw snowballs, made snow angels, slid down the snow-covered slide and then filled it up again with snow for another run, shoveled the driveway, made "snow boulders" that we then converted into a wonderful, cheerful snowman. And, actually, I think it is my first real, complete, three-sphere snowman ever. Maybe Gommie's too! And of course, exhausted after a nature walk and playing in the "polar bear cave" bush, we went inside with our bowls of snow for--you guessed it--snow cream.
