Fun In The Snow

About a week ago, on one of the few days it's been warm enough that I feel comfortable letting her go outside, Sophie and I played out in the snow for about a half hour (until it got dark and colder)

Of course, I got Sophie all bundled up in her coat, snowsuit, hat, gloves, and boots...



The first order of business was to play with her new sled that she got for Christmas. I dragged her up and down the driveway a bunch of times both slow and fast. She loved it. I can't wait to go sledding with her for real!



I'd be a bad Minnesotan if I didn't teach her how to make snow angels! Not bad for her first one - okay, I moved her arms and legs to make it, but still...




Over the last few weeks we've had an average of two snowfalls greater then 4 inches per week, and all of that snow from our driveway I have been piling into a big hill on the far side of the garage (where we don't normally drive) so that Sophie and I can make a snow fort.

Unfortunately, the weather here has been cold - and I'm hesitant to take her out when the air temp is below 15 degrees (with wind chills near or below zero), so hopefully we'll have a warm snap soon and we can get that fort carved out.

Later!
