Walkin In A Winter Wonderland

We were amazed to get REAL snow this weekend! Although the weathermen were predicting it, around here you don't believe it till you see it. Since it has been nearly two years since we have seen real snow, we were excited about getting some, especially for Lorelei to experience it. I did made a Friday Walmart run so we were all set to stay home for the weekend.

To kick off the day, we had s'mores at 10 AM! Apparently Brad really likes them, so when I said I didn't know how we would fit in s'mores AND snow ice cream he quickly came to the obvious conclusion...morning snack. ;)

Then we bundled up to head outside. This took WAY longer than we anticipated. Putting two layers on ourselves and three on Lorelei (who was NOT happy about this, making it even more difficult) took quite some time, but at least we were warm!

And here you have her reaction to her first snow!










And of course eating it was on the top of her list.






Thought the outtakes were pretty funny in trying to get a daddy/daughter snow picture. :) They kept getting the snowflakes in their faces.




Since food is always on the top of the Stahl family to-do list...the afternoon we took on snow ice cream! This is something my family did when we got a good snow, so thought we should give it a try.

We thought we would attempt another play trip out after Lorelei's nap, but by that time the wind had picked up and it wasn't really fun playing weather. She was pretty unhappy when we closed the door after getting the snow without letting her play, but she did enjoy the ice cream. :)




Day #2

Well since the flakes finally quit falling around 5 or so Saturday, we figured Sunday was a good day to try out a little home made sledding. :) (Nobody sells sleds around here!) We did last longer outside this time, but only about 45 minutes before Lorelei was ready to call it a day with wet and cold mittens. :)





We had a fun weekend and looking forward to another lazy day tomorrow because Brad's office is closed. :) Guess we'll have to brave the snow at least one more time!
