Snow!

We had our first snow last night courtesy of the nor'easter.  It started off as a rainy day, but eventually the raindrops turned to snowflakes.  A few inches lasted overnight, but it was slushy.  But we had to get out in the first snow. 

Everyone got bundled up right after breakfast and we hurried out to the hill.  We had the hill to ourselves, probably due in part to the snow being a bit thin, but it also being a school and work day meant everyone had somewhere to be.

Thankfully Charlie hung out to partake in Hans' inaugural run on the sled and his first real snow experience.  I definitely appreciated the help getting everyone suited up.   I like seeing the snow, and I love seeing Freddie's excitement over playing in the snow, but man it is a whole lot of work for this mama. 

Hans was less than impressed with the gear and the snow.  His range of motion was limited in those boots and suit.  And the snow was cold and wet.

When he finally figured out how to walk in his boots he stuck to the puddles. 

Freddie enjoyed a few runs and even tried out his skis.

I hope we get more snow so he gets some time on those skis before heading to the mountains.  

Nothing like getting the day started with playing in the snow before work and school.

Hans is not happy with the wet, cold snow on his hands!

And nothing like coming home to warm up!
