I can’t believe I’m going to say this, but I was so happy to see snow this weekend! We packed up the gang and met some dear friends in Northern New Hampshire for a wonderful weekend of snowmobiling. While we were up there, a storm blew in and brought another 10 inches of snow, which was a much-needed addition to the trails. The kids and I mostly stayed in the cabin, but we did venture out for some good old-fashioned playtime. It’s so hard to believe we had to travel nearly up to the Canadian border before we had enough snow this winter in which to make snow angels!
The girls really enjoyed the white stuff, and honestly, I did too. It was especially fun to have a lot of snow around, but know that we would be leaving the accompanying mess and snow-related hassles behind as soon as we were done. It made snow exciting for me again, not burdensome!
Of course, chances are that our next winter will wallop us with heavy snow, so I guess I shouldn’t get too attached to this snow-as-fleeting-fun model. Besides, maybe if we get lots of storms, I’ll get to see lots of these smiles!
(And yes, Becky did ride the snowmobile with her dad for a few minutes. And yes, she IS smiling about it!).
Looks like everyone had a good time ! Thanks for sharing.
We’ll turn you into a New Englander yet, Em. Great pictures, and that is truly the essence of a good snowstorm. Where everyone feels like a kid again, and the work world stops to give us time to just play and enjoy it. xoxo to the kids!
