First Snow



It is hard to believe that Zander is 3 1/2 and this week was his first snow. It seems like when we were young, it snowed alot. I remember going out with Dad and using inner tubes to slide down our front yard. We would do it forever. Then there was the time that Jenn, Vicki, Tracy and I make a snow fort and stayed out all day playing. We were playing in the cow pasture. Would I let Zander play in the cow pasture? Hmmmmm. Times have changed.
When we went to bed, we were very excited because we knew it was supposed to snow during the night and then turn to sleet and freezing rain early in the morning. When I got up at 7:00, there was snow on the ground and it was starting to rain. I woke Zander ande got him dressed. We all went outside. He walked around in the snow and rode his arctic cat for a while. We didn't get to stay very long because it was raining and freezing. 3 days later it snowed again. This time he got to see it snowing and there was enough to make a snowman and do some sledding. We had a great time and Zander cried when it was time to come in. It was very cold as you can see from his cheeks. Maybe we will get some more before spring.
