Playing in the Snow




Well, I said they could play in the snow after their nap. I just didn't say how soon after their nap. None of us were really thinking it would be today instead of yesterday.

We were supposed to get two feet, we got a few inches. That means that we did, indeed, have two feet in our driveway and along most of our sidewalk. There is a gap between the two houses just to the north of us. The wind, during a winter storm, ALWAYS comes from the north. The resulting drifts are formed, magically, right along our sidewalk and across our driveway. They are twice the height of however much snow we got.

The back yard had a nice drift, as always, about ten feet out from the house. Rhys had a great time playing in the snow drift. Owyn was not nearly as happy to be out in all that. It was his first time in full on snivel gear and he had a hard time moving. He did not like the deep snow at all. Hopefully next winter is a bit more snowy and we can get him used to the weather.
