Snow Fun

Grammy went on a little vacation to Mexico the first of January and missed the freezing cold temps that blasted Northern Minnesota.  When we arrived back, the weather quickly changed to a balmy 25-35 degrees!  This was the perfect weather to take the Grammy Daycare crew out for some snow fun.

The logistics of pulling 3 boys under 3 meant each child needed their own sled and one of the two (Grandpa or Grammy) got to pull 2 sleds.  We switched off, but mostly Grandpa took the brunt of 2 sleds around the block to the sliding hill.

We went sliding a few times and ventured out onto the lake and found out quickly that toddlers don't stand so well on ice.  Off we went back to the snow and hills tugging the crew behind.  By the time we headed back home, Hux was ready to walk.  You wouldn't think 25-30 pounds a boy would be heavy to pull, but it felt like a workout.

When we got back to Grammy and Grandpa's we decided to make snow angels.  Otty quickly decided that Gram was the perfect sitting (laying) duck for a snow fight since I was down on my back.  In no time I was covered in snow, running down my back and neck.  Otty and Hux got quite a kick out of that.  As Gram was the victim, Grandpa was available in the wings to videotape the fun...

It was great to be back playing with the boys!  They are all growing so fast, I hate to miss even a week.  Here's some pics of the crew playing and giving Gram "the face" when I try to get a pic of them.

love my boys:)
