Finally...a day to play!

We've been snowed-in for the last two days. We've had crazy wind storms while it was snowing so that we couldn't even walk outside, let alone get the car out of the garage. We kept ourselves busy, but I was getting worried that we wouldn't get to play in the snow any more while Jeff was still here. This morning, though, the wind finally let up. Jeff and I put on snowshoes and trekked out to the road to make a pathway so a guy with a snow plow could come and re-create my parents' driveway. Jeff had never snowshoed before, so that was fun!!! It's one of my more favorite things to do in the snow.
Then we came inside and got Max ready to sled...he had gone stir-crazy over the last two days and needed to be out!He went down the hill once with mom... ...and then once by himself.

But, for some reason, sledding wasn't as intriguing as...
...John Deere snow plow/tractors...
...and laying down to eat the snow every three steps. We had a fun time in the snow!

So glad that you were able to go out and play... we are still waiting for the temps to rise (above the minus digits) and the winds to die so we too can enjoy ALL of our snow! I went snowshoeing for the first time in April (when we were in Yellowstone) and LOVED it! Jared and I are getting snowshoes for Christmas so hopefully we will be able to get some use out of them! Hope you have a great White Christmas!
