Snow Much Fun!!!

Here in our little neck of the woods we usually don't get much snow. When we do it either doesn't stick or melts pretty darn quick. Every once in awhile though we get a pretty nice snow storm that allows us to play a little. This last week we had lots of snow. The first day we got about 6 inches and it stayed all day. The problem was that it rained on the snow all day too so no playing. Thankfully we kept getting snow and it stuck around long enough on a nice day to play! Yay! Usually these kinds of fun snow days end up being on a weekday too so KC doesn't get to play with us. (And the number of pictures I get are limited.) This time our play day was on Saturday and oh boy did we play! Woowee!!! Wanna see? I could literally show you about 250 pictures (because I literally took that many) but I just picked a few of my most favorite ones to share.

On with the snow, er, I mean, SHOW! :o)

We had snowball fights - built a snow fort and everything!

KC got a little carried away ...

Who knew how much fun a snowy trampoline could be? The kids loved it when Daddy would "pop" the snow up from the bottom!

We used anything and everything we could find to use as a sled. I'll say, Daddy got a TON of exercise pulling everyone around on "sleds" - including me! (Sorry, no pictures of him pulling me ... I was too busy being pulled!) :o) When we weren't being pulled we were sliding down the handicap ramp at my mom's house. I'll tell you ... having a big backyard is a really great thing in times like these!

Mr. Engineer had to see if a shovel would make a better slide than the "Ice Comet." It didn't. ;-)

And, of course, there were snowmen! (Who knew you could use cake decorating supplies to decorate snow? LOL!)

This is KC's idea of a snowman ...

After all that play we were all tuckered out!

And there you have it! A totally awesome fun family day in the snow! I'm so glad Daddy could play with us this time. Is was way more fun having him play with us! I hope we get one or two more this winter! (It was good exercise too!)

So what's your favorite picture? Leave a comment (I think I have that feature fixed - and you shouldn't have to register or anything ... I hope) and let us know what you think!

Blessings!
