Family Snow Fun is So Fun

We've been enjoying the beautiful snow up here.  They fortunately got pure snow and it's been so fun to play in! Anderson and Julia were working on a snowman.  They rolled a huge ball and started adding decoration.  Their favorite part is adding the sticks, so in the end it resembled a snow porcupine...

 

We had some great snowball fights.  I have to say the kids all have really good aim.  Grandpa has been teaching them the finer points of ambushing and they have nailed most of the family that has come to visit.  So if you're getting out of you're car, I advise you duck.

 

It's the perfect snow for snow angels.  We always knew we were surrounded by angels and now the yard has literally, a dozen.

 

 

Here's our finished snow Marine...

 

The kids still love shoveling.  How long does this trait last? Not long enough I'm sure.

 

We also played some fun snow baseball and golf.

 

Julia was of course eating it by the handful.  She found picking it up by hand rather slow, so instead she crawled around on her hands and knees and ate it with her face instead...

 

Mimi and Grandpa's new house has a great old climbing tree in the backyard.  The kids (and Grandpa) have spent a lot of time in it...

 

Four hours later we were all worn out and starving.  Fortunately, the temps have remained close to freezing this week- so we have clear roads, warm sunshine, and lots of snow to play in, perfect.
