Elias has been asking to play in the snow for months now. We don’t get much snow here in the Portland area, but we did promise him a trip to Mt. Hood or two this winter. We’ll still visit the mountain, but we were lucky enough to get an inch or so at home. Naturally, this combined with some freezing rain completely shut everything down and school was cancelled!
On Sunday morning the boys woke up to the snow. They were thrilled!
We determined it was safe to drive to church and were some of the few who made it in. We got home, ate a quick lunch, and bundled everyone up to go play. Elias had a very long list of things he wanted to do including a snowball fight, snow angels, building a snowman, sledding, shoveling the driveway, and more. He got to do pretty much everything except build a snowman. We’ll save that one for the mountain.
The boys had a blast pulling each other around on the sled. I helped them plan a few good ambushes on Daddy while he shoveled the sidewalk. I remember when snow was this magical for me too!
