Today we had a good snow. It was
the first one we have got this winter and it is February 13th. We
went out and played with the kids for a little while this morning. My 2 year
old was really excited about the snow. He retrieved his snow boots from the
closet and I put them on him. He thought he was ready to go play. However all
he had on was snow boots and some pants. When he opened the door he seemed
surprised that it was cold. After we dressed him real warm he really enjoyed
the snow. We all came in and had some hot chocolate.
When I think back to when I was child
I realize now why parents never enjoyed the snow like we did. When my kids came
into the house they brought wet frozen clothes and boots covered in snow with
them. It made a huge mess; my wife gathered up all the wet clothes and put them
in the dryer. About the time they finished drying the kids wanted to go back
out side and play some more. This lasted a little while and they were ready to
go back in again. I think we are in for the day maybe tomorrow will be a little
less cold and they won’t get cold so fast.
Even with all the stresses that
come with the snow I still enjoy it. I was hoping it would ome a couple of days
earlier. The Predator tournament that I hunted would have been more successful
had there been some snow on the ground. I love being able to look out across
the fields and see the fresh snow. Sometimes I think back to the time I spent in
the Rocky Mountains. We had a fresh coating of snow every afternoon.
