We recently had our first real snow and our first SNOW DAY!
It's always a laugh when the first snow event creeps up on us and we scramble to locate and sort through the snow gear. Inevitably, snow pants and boots are discovered to have grown a size too small. Thus, day one is wardrobe of high waters and pinched toes. Throughout the following days we shuffle through the collection of pants and boots, fine-tune the fittings, and get everyone properly dressed.
This snow day fell on a Friday - which is the best thing ever - and we dragged out the snowshoes that arrived last year from Santa. However, due to our real lack of snow last year, the boys never even got the chance to try them. I wasn't about to let another season go by while they collected dust. There was a learning curve which included many tumbles and laughs, but both boys got the hang of it eventually.
