Saturday Snow Fun

It snowed again on Saturday - all morning - so we cancelled our plans, stayed at the house, and had fun playing in the snow all afternoon.

(It snows at least once a winter here - it's crazy to imagine I have cousins far away who haven't seen snow yet!)

Looking out the front lawn towards the woods looks like something out of Narnia!

I made snow angels.

And went sledding.

 And made a snowman. Can you tell what cartoon character inspired this snowman?

Here I am with the crazy snowman!

What's the craziest now sculpture you've ever made?

The family dog joined in on the fun, too.

Cody likes to play ball... and outside, he likes to play snowball!

Here he is leaping into the air to catch a snowball.

(He's on an extra long leash so he can run and play.)

By the end of the day, he'd figured out that he didn't need to jump to catch the snowballs - he just let them fall nearby, then took a big bite of the nearest mound of snow.

(He got tossed soft, looser snowballs, not the hard packed ones from the family snowball war!)

I had a lot of fun making snow angels, sledding, making snowmen, and throwing snowballs. 

Do you have ideas for other fun ways to play in the snow?
