This disappointing winter
Was just saving it up
And dumped it all at once -
Broke a 100 year record for the most snow in one day
So our week was not normal
As we spent as much time outside
As we did inside -
A very nice change indeed!
An unexpected the-day-after cancellation
Freed a morning for the woods
Anxious to visit our house
We plowed our own trail in
Aiden on a sled
(pulled by out-of-breath Mommy)
Not daring to attempt walking
in the snow easily to his shoulders!
What hard work to walk!
And a yet again realization
that our kids are yet learning
how even to walk in snow.
Snow angels in 2 feet of fresh fluffy snow?
What a fantastic bemused surprised look
When they plopped in so deep...
When she jumped off the rock in up to her neck...
So glad it quickly turned to smiles!
We came home rather quickly
Snow had made its way inside
burning ankles, wrists, chins
trickling ice water down backs
seeping through pants.
But outdoor play was repeated
two more times
that day! Yay!
