S'n'O Much Fun!

So, I am EXTREMELY late in posting this, but hey, better late than never, right??  Well, back in February we got quite the snow storm.  It snowed non stop for about 2 days, it was awesome.  When the sun finally came out we decided that we would go out in the front yard and let the kids play in the snow.  We all had a lot of fun.  Reed even got all dressed up and went sledding for the first time.  We got out our sled that we bought on clearance one year and Spencer did the towing.  They all seemed to have a pretty good time.  Here is a video of Reed's very first sledding excursion:



Spencer made use of a pile of snow at the end of our driveway and Avary had a field day!


CJ tried it too, but she has absolutely NO padding on her bottom and her fun came to an abrupt halt when the sled landed.  After the sled jump we started on our own snow cave.  The girls were quite impressed with what daddy could do.  He made a real nice cave too.  Big enough that even he could fit inside and lay down with the girls.




It was funny to see Spencer climb in there.  I opted to NOT post that picture.  :)

While Spencer was building the snow cave, the girls and I tried to get started on a snow man.  We didn't make it too far because the snow would fall apart.  Leave it to Spencer to apply his sculpting abilities and make the girls a cute little snow bunny:



That bunny lasted a long time!  Although it wasn't too long until a dog came and peed on it.  It was a really fun time in the snow.  I even got in it and made a snow angel.  I forgot how fun snow is.

So glad you posted that, no matter how long ago it was! That is so cool that it was a whole family thing with EVERYONE out there having so much fun together! The kids were so cute in the videos,and hearing everyone laughing,and Reed was thinking, "What the heck??" Good one for Avary to start a snow ball fight after twirling off the sled. That's sad CJ needs more padding-tell her to eat more and get ready for next year! :) Really loved the snow bunny & cave...Spencer does have real talent in the snow, and awesome that Sierra made a snow angel...I want to see that on video! Love you guys!
