Well, I got my wish of one last (?) good snowfall this winter! It snowed all day on Friday and left us with a good six inches of beautiful snow. After clearing the driveway and other necessities we decided to take the family over to the fairgrounds for some nice outdoor time. Max walked over in his snowshoes, but once we got to the park he took them off so he could run around with the dogs. Lauren wasted no time in asking to get down from the carrier and into the snowshoes herself. She's gotten big enough to wear them and did a fair job of stomping around in them. Max is getting big too and is finally big enough to walk to Diamond on his own. Well, almost big enough. Cisco loves running in the snow and it's really impressive to see how fast he can run.
It was nice to have another chance to see our neighborhood covered in snow again. It's really beautiful to look at, especially when it's fresh and still sticking to the tree branches. We often point out tracks in the snow to the kids and ask them to "help" identify what animal made them. And of course it's great to just watch them run around and have fun in it. They've been sledding in the yard, Max always helps me with the shoveling, and Lauren loves to stomp around like a yeti. It's been a good winter for us.
