A Perfect Snow Day

We had the most perfect day in the snow with the boys on Monday.  It was warm so no one got cold and, while a little icy, there was plenty of snow for sledding, making snow angels, having snowball fights and making a snowman.  And we did all of those things.  Here are a few photos I posted on Facebook and after the photos is a video of the boys sledding.  You can hear how much fun they're having by their joyful laughter.  I'm sure Pat, their dad, was a little shocked to see how fast they were going but all went well and no one got hurt.  Ryan did slip once while walking on an icy patch and landed on his chin getting a little scrape but no incidents on the sled.  It was so nice and sunny that we were able to have a picnic lunch on campground tables in the snow.




We did not make that big snowman!  The two bottom parts where already there so we made a head and added the arms, buttons, etc...  I would suggest you watch the video larger by clicking HERE.

You can see both Kanan and Cooper in the video.  They had a great time, too, and Cooper rolls in the snow just like he does in the sand at the beach.

  5. Tell Ryan that I always say "Ice is not nice" One must be very careful walking on ice (or driving). It is best to walk on the snow. HUGS

  7. Hi Darylynn,
    I answered your question on my blog, but thought I would pop over here also and answer.

    Well there are year round residents..my niece, Alyssa lives there year round. And the island still gets some visitors. A small percentage of the business are open in the winter. The ferry services quits running once the lake freezes over, so travel to and from the island are by small plane.

    Have a great day!
    HUGS
