Take me to the Snow !

Last Sunday we decided to brave the cold weather and take a trip up to the snow! One of my favorite parts of winter is going up the Mountain and spending a few hours freezing your bits off! It had actually snowed so much that we didn't even make it half way up the mountain but there was still enough snow to slip on my behind more times than I'd like to mention!

   

Laura was in heaven with the snow, she's one of those oddballs that picks the ice cubes out of drinks and sucks them! 

What trip to the snow is complete without a snowball fight. Ours ended up being three against one so poor Daniel was covered in snow HA!

While we were up there we made our own snow boarding course on a quite heavily trafficked footpath, it was complete with boogie boards, a few tree roots that made quite good jumps and a pile of snow that was supposed to stop us from crashing; it didn't work and I ended up going head first into a tree! You have my permission to laugh at me, I look like a complete knob :) Also I have come to realize  that I have no concept of appropriate clothing for the weather FYI one shirt will probably not keep you warm when it's only 2 degrees! 

We were also a little naughty and 'adopted' this snow man ie; shoved our carrot into an abandoned one and claimed it as our own! But seriously look how much effort somebody has gone to! It needed to be appreciated by all you lovely's.

This was Daniel and Sam's attempt; not even five seconds after this was taken the poor snow-head was cannonpaulted into the trees behind! Such violence!!! 

I love how the snow falls over the ground, it looks so magical when its falling and instantly makes me feel like a child again every time it snows; and I don't think i'm the only one. Almost every adult that we passed had that kid-on-Christmas smile plastered across there face, it was so gorgeous!!

Do you guys have a favorite snowy memory? 

Mine would have to be in grade six it snowed so low all the schools were closed down and we got to spend the whole day playing in the paddocks and climbing the trees {In hindsight that seems a little dangerous!} but I have such a great memory of spending time with my family and having such a exciting day!
