When we had the very first snowfall this year, the children's school was cancelled/closed so to give them some things to do, we went out to the drive way and shoveled the snow. It was freezing that day so we made sure to bundle up good so we won't get sick.
Children doesn't really care about the freezing weather as long as they can play, that's what matter.
Just looking at these photos is making me so cold already already even though I am drinking a cup of my hot ginger tea. I am always cold, when the temperature is below 50, I am cold. My husband calls my hands "ice cold hands" because they are always cold. Luckily, I married a guy whose hands are always warm so we compliment perfectly.
I love that aside from playing they always want to help me shovel the snow. Shoveling snow is a great exercise. I think I burned more calories shoveling snow than walking in the treadmill.
I don't mind the snow as long as the wind is not blowing but when it is, it is bitter cold and I can't stand it.
I can tell that the kids have strong immune system now because they seldom get sick. Those regular long walks that my family did over the summer and eating healthy helps them build a stronger immunity.
We live a block away from their school so we walk every school days, rain or shine, freezing or not. They are great troopers!
My little man is all about playing but the little miss always wants to make snowman when she's out there with snow.
Lolo Don, our neighbor, was shoveling snow that day too so the kids extended their fun and went at their yard.
Rylie helped Lolo shoveled the walkway.
I always want to take pictures of my kids with our neighbors because they truly are like our family. They treat my kids like their own grand kids. Not many people are blessed with great neighbors so I am always thankful that we are blessed with them.
That is one of the two things I love in this place, the reason why I am conflicted of moving to another place. Our neighbors are great!
Anyway, our adventured was put to a halt when the strong wind started blowing and the snow was getting in our faces. Their faces were so pink when they got inside. They took a hot bath and they were fine. Hot coco also warmed our bodies after the fun outside.

Fabulous photos. I hate the cold but I have to admit this looks like fun Diane.
Isn't it great when they are old enough to help shovel? Mine were out there helping this year, too!
My son loves snow days. I'll have to do this with him the next time it snows here in Chicago.
so much snow, I am jealous, it is feeling more like spring over here, we barely had any snow so far
Wow, all that snow! How fun! I loved snow days when I was a kid.
Oh these are great photos. I'm living vicariously through you right now. Today, we turned our A/C on, because in South Texas, that's how we roll! Looks like a LOT of fun!
Look at them having so much fun playing in the snow! So adorable. Shoveling is a good exercise indeed.
Fun photos. It's great that you still find activities for the kids despite the snow.
They look like they had a fun time playing in the snow. My daughter couldn't wait to get out there and play in it too.
What a fun day! I'm sure the kids will remember that forever! Thanks for sharing your fun!!
Looks like they had so much fun! No snow in San Diego.

Your kids looks had fun! I'm sure you had fun too! This is the great way to have a bonding with your kids.
Kids love the snow! Let them enjoy it while they're young. Now that I am older, I am content looking at it through my window while I stay warm and cozy inside. Lovely family you have there!
Snow angels are so fun! So is sledding, snowball fighting and snowmen. But I don't miss the snow. Not one bit, lol. Love your pics!
These pictures look like fun! My boys wanted to play in the snow today after the snow storm. When it's not too cold out fun in the snow and hot cocoa after is a great treat.
It looks so fun! I wish we could get a little snow down here in Texas.
We get so much snow here, but never get a snow day. It's crazy. BUT my kids love the snow and we always seem to make it to where we need to go. It looks like you had a lot of fun!
I have to admit I am a little jealous! We have had next to no snow this winter and the kids are really missing it. Sledding and skating are the best parts of winter if you ask me!!
