These pictures are actually from the beginning of November when we had a bit of snow. It wasn't much but it was enough to get the kids excited for the coming winter. We hauled out snow boots (discovered both kids need bigger boots!), mittens, hats, and coats. John was out the door before I could get Kelsey ready. He was so excited to experience it all first.
First, he ran around in it to make as many footprints as possible. Then, he started chucking snowballs. Hence, the picture of him winding up for a throw. Future athelete? Probably, but he's more interested in hockey than football or baseball. Ice hockey usually doesn't entail throwing a ball.
Kelsey joined him for a snow taste testing contest. They both decided it was pretty good. Cold but good.
It then moved on to the favorite game of the morning: snow angels. Every yard had one in it by the time John was finished. Kelsey finally got brave enough to lay down in it, though she didn't accumulate as much snow on her backside as John. They both had loads of fun and didn't want to come inside until I mentioned HOT COCOA with marshmallows!
