What a wonderful surprise last week when we received a couple inches of snow! Of course we also received freakishly cold temperatures and biting winds, but when snow is involved and you're in the youth/child department, you've got to make hay while the sun shines. In other words, you bundle up in as many layers as you possibly can, then hit the slopes. Unless you live on a piece of property with no real slopes. Then you slowly inch down the gentle incline in the backyard.

The kids made some pretty nice ramps during this snowfest. They actually got some air at some points.

One thing I'll say is that playing in the arctic like that sure does wear a fella out. Not to mention making double the laundry for the Mom.
