Winter fun with my grandsons
« on: December 30, 2007, 09:41:56 AM »
We got 8" of snow Friday, it was the really pretty kind that sticks to the trees, makes things look like a post card.  I have the grandsons for the weekend so thought it would be fun to go build a snowman with Tae(the oldest) while the little guy napped.  Well the other grandma who brought him did not bring snowpants or boots so we had to improvise, 4 pair of sweatpants for snowpants and bread bags/rubber bands over his shoes for boots.  He loved it, to bad it was not good packing snow, so we just did a bit of sledding down the small hill in the backyard, when Jett woke up I brought him out, but he was not as fond of the cold snow.

That last picture could win a contest!  I love snow, but we don't get it very often.  When we do, we pull our kids (ages 24 & 26) on a big innertube behind the four wheeler!  They never get too old to play in the snow.
Love what the snow did to your reindeer too.
Have fun with the grandsons!

Just looking again I realized your grandson is wearing plastic bags over his boots!  I remember we use to do that when we were growing up too!  What great memories you brought back!!

Annette, he didn't have any boots with him so I put the bags over his shoes, it worked. 

The one thing I figure I  can give my grandkids is the love of the outdoors all 4 seasons, it's a lot cheaper then all those toys and it stays with you forever. And helps me stay young at heart. ;)
