Snow Time Like the Present

Well, here we are and February is nearly halfway through already!  We've gone through cycles of snow, melt, snow, melt...  (Which is good if we want to avoid a drought this summer.)

Owen is ready for spring and asks if it's spring every time the sun comes out (even if it's below freezing temps).  But he's making do with his latest passion - snow shoveling!  

He liked it so much, we even got him his own shovel. If snow is falling, he's trying to work shoveling into his schedule!

One time I was out with Owen shoveling, and Hadley disappeared into the garage.  She came back out with her version of a snowblower and proceeded to 'bubble mow' the driveway back and forth.  She's such a mimic! Just wish she would keep her gloves on.

At least the kids do seem to like to be out in the fresh air, even when it's pretty cold! Here's our (my) attempt at a snowman.  The Idaho snow is usually too dry to pack for snowmen/snowballs, but if you can get it between the melting/icy stage, you have a shot.  There were much bigger snowmen up and down the street!  I need to get some tips.  :)

Owen cleared off the steps for Hadley to make a safe descent.  What a good big bro!

Snow play date!

I did get Owen back out on the ski slopes (thanks Olympics!), but first things first - lunch at 10 AM before we hit the bunny slope.

And after 3 exhausting trips up the tow rope with me, real lunch, and a potty break, he was done.  This is him rolling back to the car.  :)  So thankful this place is only 40 minutes from the house!
