I absolutely detest the cold...but when it snows up on the mountain above us there's nothing to do but take the short drive and play in it. Heidi loved the idea! So up we went, piled on as many layers of clothing as we could find, and played for a good hour in the winter wonderland. I suppose we could have found a more pristine area, but this was just a quick jaunt up the mountain and back and we had fading daylight to contend with, and another storm coming up the hill for that night.
Anyway...Heidi took every opportunity to eat the snow and pummel grammy when her back was turned with a snowball (who taught her that?!). Nora found the whole thing fascinating and watched with wide eyes all the running around and screaming. Her little nose got cherry red as she kept popping out from under the blanket we had her wrapped in, to see all the action. Laura got a little snowman going and they did some sliding down the hill and made sno-angels. Lot's of fun.
The best part? driving down the hill and being in warmer temps in less than 15 minutes! YIPPEEEE
