By the time February rolls around, our area's chances of getting any more snow usually drops considerably. Knowing that the temperature was expected to rise fairly quickly during the day, I knew time was of the essence if we wanted to get any play time in the snow. So, the kids and I quickly donned our snow gear and headed outside.
We had a marvelous time and wound up playing on three of the four sides of our house! The kids started on the deck (while I put on my snow gear) and then we moved to the front yard. After awhile, Annika and Conor decided to go on an adventure ... aka, the south part of our yard. We threw snowballs, made snow angels, and watched our footprints create patterns all over the yard.
Their imaginations went wild as they played. I loved eavesdropping on them as they built their imaginary world with various plot lines and characters.
After an hour or so, we were quite numb, so called it a day. About an hour after that, the snow started to melt ... making way for the first few signs of spring.
