First Snow Experience

It was a perfect Minnesota afternoon this past Sunday- bright blue skies, a few white clouds, and a balmy 36 degrees. We decided it was perfect to go outside and play in the snow. Everyone was excited except maybe Devin.

We donned his cap, snowsuit, and boots. He DID NOT like the boots- he threw a huge tantrum and was inconsolable.












Once outside, Devin decided he was just going to stand still in one spot (at least he didn't cry like Lily did with her first snow experience) and take it all in.
















Finally, a smile on his face...maybe this snow stuff isnt so bad after all. He tried to walk, but those darn boots made him fall on his tush.
















He started playing with the snow, examining it, and...


















of course, tasting it. Mmmmm...was good enough to eat and eat. He couldn't get enough of licking his gloves.

















Now that he wasn't so afraid of the snow, sledding was the next step. With Lily along for the ride, he seemed to embrace what was about to happen...
















The sledding hill was very slick...WHOOSH! The picture says it all- sledding was a success.
