Snow...at last

It's mid December and this is the first "real" snow storm of the season - the first one with any hint of staying around for more than 1 day anyway. It's beautiful. And while we are waiting for the snow to get deep enough to go tubing on Grandma's hill, we have a gentle slope in our own backyard, one that my little ones can easily push their tubes up on their own. But did you know if you tilt the camera a little, it makes that gentle slope look pretty steep! So 'no', CJ is not walking or tubing on something that steep - just a little camera trick. Too funny! It was great to see them so entertained in our own backyard - I love knowing there is baby grass and frozen ground under that snow. At Grandma's house we use an old snowmobile to ride back up the hill since even though it is a gentle grade, it's a very long hill and the kids get tired on the first ride. But tubing is definitely one of our favorite family activities.
