Snow

Some may have heard me complain about cold winters here in Idaho. I need to clarify a bit. I love the snow. I love a beautiful blanket of white. I love the brisk cold air. I love to play in the snow. The problem is that it snows, but the freshly fallen snow does not last. Most of the winter does not seem white, but instead seems brown, wet, cold, and windy. This I do not like.

Well, we have been lucky. It has snowed a lot this week. This is a view of some trees in our backyard from my girls bedroom window (it shows about half of our backyard). I love the white blanket of snow. It is so refreshing and beautiful.

As pretty as it is, we could not leave that snow undisturbed. Out came all of our cold weather gear.

Ryan and Camryn made a snow castle. When they were done playing in the snow, they wanted a Blizzard.

I would have thought hot chocolate, but I didn't argue. We just had both.

Snow is here. We are going to enjoy it while it lasts.
