Snow Dudes

Today the girls and I set out to build their first snow men. It was just the kind of snow day I love - hot and snowy! The weather was up to around 40 degrees and the sun was shinning bright. After church we went to the zoo to check out the animals without the crowds (again confirming that winter is the best time of year to visit the zoo). It was neat b/c some of the animals (namely bears and seals) are so much more active in the winter. Then we grabbed some lunch and headed home to build our snow men. I intended to only build one, but the second snow ball I built was too heavy to lift, so it turned into a second snow man base - hence we have two. So you may note that the girls are kind of hap hazardly dressed in snow gear - that's b/c we got HOT. The hats came off, the coats got unzipped, we didn't even bother with snow pants. All this hard work and bright sun made us down right warm. The only thing that stayed on the whole time was the gloves.

Go Cardinals!
