Snow Day!

It's the first official snow day here in Concord. I think we're expecting somewhere between 6 and 10 inches when all is said and done. Not crazy. But the timing was just right to make the roads too dangerous to send kids to school. And even though it's been a pretty mild winter here in New England (at least compared to what's happening back in the Midwest, guess we got out of there just in time) we've already had a few fun snow adventures. And since I'm feeling a little under the weather and not so sure I want to take the kids out today (even though Kaelyn has already asked about 10 times when we can go out and build a snowman) I'll share with you some of our previous snow fun.

In Wisconsin:

Snow angels with Auntie Jen-Jen:

Sledding in Maya and Buppa's back yard:

Aren't they cute little snow bunnies?

Brennan made himself comfortable on the sidewalk while having his snow snack:

Remember how good you thought snow tasted when you were a kid?

First down-hill sledding experience at White Park:

Brennan cried most of the time, went down with me twice and then resorted to digging in the snow with his sled:

This one had a blast and has become quite a fearless sledder. Hoping she shows as much excitement and courage when we try skiing.

Finding out what hockey is all about at the Black Ice Pond Hockey tournament:

Warming up by the bonfire:

They watched hockey for about two minutes and then spent about an hour "ice-sliding" and playing on the playground. Kaelyn found her best friend. Brennan wanted to hold a hand the whole time so I have no pictures of him sliding.

 

Second sledding excursion. "Incoming!!!"

 Bren had more fun this time but still wouldn't go by himself. Which was probably for the best.

Anyone in the mood for hot chocolate?
