I wish winter had come sooner. It is easier to train for nordic skiing when there is snow. Alas, I had to spend my thanksgiving week with the family, and not in a remote isolated neck of the woods with other skiers. Oh, well. Still, we have been gently introduced to winter as the temps slowly dropped, and occasionally we would get some flurries.
The kids love the snow. So far we have not had an icident where they got too cold. They seem to be at the stage where they could roll around in the snow sans clothes, and be happy as clams. We did some sledding. The goal was to get to the "mountain hill" that was "on the hill on the way to the lake". Where we sledded with "our cousins". So, we did some sledding off the tee box of the 10th hole. Interestingly, they wanted to pull the sled while the other sat. They did not want to be the one with the free ride. I guess they will learn.
Ethan also had fun throwing snow -not necessarily snow balls, as he "has not figured that out" yet.
Riles was all about playing a dog in the snow, getting on all fours, sometimes pushing the snow with her head. Seems strange to me.
Both made snow angels ...of a sort. They don't have the getting out of the snow without destroying the angel down yet. I'm glad they are enjoying it.
Now I need to get on my skis. (and I need to get the Ski Shack to finish putting bindings on my race skis)
