Spring is "snow" much fun!

Last weekend was beautiful and sunny... cold... but sunny. The neighborhood kids were out in force all playing together. The thing I love most about our neighborhood is seeing all of the kids out... playing together... learning how to get along with all different ages... and having a great time. It truly is amazing and wonderful, we couldn't ask for a better place to raise our family! The high Saturday was only 33... but those kids (about 15-20 of them) had a blast running around on the freshly uncovered grass. Jadyn was loving it too... although I don't even think she walked anywhere... she just spent a few hours pampered in her "wagon" being pulled around by all the kids... up and down the street! So the huge "spring" storm that dumped a foot of snow yesterday, was greeted with mixed emotions...

We made the most of it though... doing what we might do on any other "sunny" spring day...
We did a little swinging...
a little sliding...
Played a little catch...
Did a little jumping on the trampoline... (that isn't there...)
Ate a little shaved ice...
Did some 4-wheeling...
Lounged in a chair... (that would be the pampered child that is used to being pulled around and catered too by everyone who knows her... She isn't impressed with the snow.)
Built a fort...
And a penguin... (how cute is that? Mr. Potato head parts work great in the snow!!)

and made a few snow angels...
Finished off by a cup of hot cocoa. I would imagine that the coming months won't be too much different... just more color and less clothes... but as long as we are doing it together... just as wonderful... so... bring it on!

What fun photos! Trust the Falslev crew to make the most of a late snowstorm. (Funny, I didn't see any photos of YOU out there enjoying the snow. Guess you were behind the camera, right?!)
