The Great Snow Day

I almost put quotation marks around "Great" in the title, since the amount of snow wasn't enough to last more than a day, but school was canceled and we had our first snow adventure in our new home.

There were dozens of families gathered at this hill by the middle school track, and it was a fun free-for-all of sleds, sharing, snowman-making, new-friend-bonding, and mommy socializing. I rode down a few times with the kids. Jared made a cute friend who was more than happy to share her sled with him any time he asked.

I only caught 2 photos before my battery died (it was the backup camera...) but here they are! Our 2 Lauras and a happy little Jared.


Our favorite thing about Washington winters so far: our snow lasts just the right length of time. The novelty remains, and it was a huge deal to the older kids in town to FINALLY have a snow day.
