Fun in the Snow

I know we didn't get as much snow as many of you did, but the blanket of snow was just so beautiful! The white on the trees and the smooth yard was just breath taking. As soon as the kids were up every square inch of it was tromped through, played with, thrown, and eaten. So much for the serene scene. Thats okay though because it provided hours of entertainment for the kids.

Sand toys are always very useful in the snow!


Jack dug a good system of tunnels through the piles of snow the plow left behind.

The bottom of our hill runs right into the woods, so the kids have to abandon ship before reaching the bottom!! They got pretty good at it really.

Emily's favorite snow activity is making and eating snow ice cream. Here's the recipe if you want to try it.

2 c. milk

1 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

some chocolate syrup if you want it to be chocolate

Add snow until it tastes good

And just make sure you add clean snow...be sure to steer clear of yellow snow!
