Can’t beat it!

With the forecast of a Winter storm warning in effect for the next 24 hours with snow estimated to be 18+ inches to the North West of us. I thought these winter play pictures would be appropriate for May in Colorado! ( Just a hint of sarcasm there!)

It may take 30minutes to get on all the gear and the same to drag it all off and put it somewhere other than in a steaming heap on the floor afterwards…..but boy do they love to go outside in the snow!

I think the biggest surprise for the MO was falling backwards to make a snow angel and not realising the snow was so wet and the sides caving in on him. That was the last picture I took. Shortly after this shot I had to wade over and recover a very wet surprised MO.

Unexpected snow fall + ample playtime outside = unstructured play and deliriously happy children.

Hot chocolates all round today!

Thanks for stopping by.
