Once again Vancouver has gotten snow. I am not so fond of it but Carsten this year is very happy to go out and play it it. This is completely opposite from last year where he wanted nothing to do with the cold weather let alone snow. So out into the snow we went. He was so excited that he stopped listening to what I said so there were quite a few reminders. I am very glad that it was just him and I so he was the only one I had to worry about.
I think he forgot about the pond and was about to walk across it at one point. I guess to a two year old it does look solid so why wouldn't he be able to walk on it. Thankfully he did not go through and I got him quickly enough.
So we went for a walk down the path which was a bit safer. Carsten kept asking where the ducks were that are normally there. We went a bit further towards the playground but not quite that far and made a snow man and Carsten made snow angels or a version of them. and snow balls which he had lots of fun breaking on the ground.
We headed back in to warm back up and have some hot chocolate. Then the other day it was once again snowing and Carsten wanted to go outside again. So we bundled up and headed outside this time with both kids. River didn't really do to much she took a couple steps and bent over and swished her hands through the snow. Then came back and wanted up.
I dont have any picture of her in the snow as my hands were full with the two of them. Carsten seams to lose his head in the snow a bit so he needs to be watched like a hawk and reminded where it is and isn't safe. I think just because everything looks the same and for him it is very new. I imagine the more we are out in it the better he will be.
So that has been our snow day, The kids had a good time and no one got hurt or fell. YAY Now I would like the rain to come back and the snow to go away. :)
