This weekend was our first snow of the season, and it was quite a storm! \u00c2\u00a0It dumped about eight inches of heavy, wet snow on our neighborhood. \u00c2\u00a0On Saturday morning, we went out with Griffin for some snow time. \u00c2\u00a0It was his first time all bundled up in his snow suit, which was awkward, and it was his first time getting cold snow blown into his face by a fierce wind. \u00c2\u00a0Not surprisingly, he wasn’t very happy. \u00c2\u00a0But we did manage to build a messy snowman. \u00c2\u00a0On Sunday, we tried again. \u00c2\u00a0Without the wind, Griffin was much more excited, though he was still hesitant to walk through the snow (he kept falling down — not used to lifting his feet so high). \u00c2\u00a0But he was very brave, and we spent nearly two hours exploring the snowy landscape at our nearby park. \u00c2\u00a0(He even hurtled down one of the slides head-first, ending up with a face full of snow, and laughed the whole time!) \u00c2\u00a0Another kid offered to share his sled, but we weren’t quite ready for that. \u00c2\u00a0When we got home, I introduced him to one of the very best things about winter: a warm mug of hot chocolate!<\/p>\n
