Snow Day - Part 2: PLAY TIME!




 Took me a while, but finally got around to the second post from our snow day right before Christmas!  Even though it snows fairly often throughout the winter here, it doesn't always happen that we get this much in one dumping, AND that it falls on a weekend or holiday so that Robin is home to play in it with us!  That's why this was the perfect day.  Over a foot of snow, sunny and warm, and daddy was home to lead the fun...
Sledding with my little man!


The snow is SO PRETTY here with the huge, cloudless, blue skies...

Cool dude.

First born, busy body, worker-bee = he could drag his sled around through the snow for HOURS...

Daddy pulling Ty around on a snowy tour of the neighborhood ;-)
Robin (still a boy at heart), decided to go down a steep little hill...basically into a ditch.  Guys are weird...  And of course, his son is cheering him on!

Thud at the bottom, lol!

Knee deep in snow drifts!

Best buds.

I took this picture while Robin was towing Ty in the sled again, but I also liked it because it shows you where we were in relation to our house!  Ours is the one on the right that you can see.  We back to open space, and have a huge open space, perfect for snow play and sledding, right on our street!  That means Jersey naps and the baby monitor reaches while we all play in the snow :)

Snow bunny...he would stay outside the entire day if we let him.



Walking the little loop of our neighborhood, and this is a pathway between some of the houses.  Of course, even though someone had been kind enough to plow the ACTUAL path, Robin and Ty decided to be adventurous and trek through over a foot of snow instead...

...Ty didn't stop smiling the whole time.

Walking back down our snow-packed street towards home!

Aaaaand snow tour, complete!  Made it home.
I had so much fun that day!!!  As I said in the first post, I didn't grow up around much snow, so this has been one of the most fun parts of moving for me :)  Not to mention, having an almost-3-year-old this year has made it even more magical.  The kid lights up in the snow and the looks on his face and excitement in his voice pretty much makes it the best thing ever.  So thankful that Robin was home to enjoy this day with us!
