Fun in the Snow .. .. .. Not this year!!

We are having the weirdest winter in YEARS, sorry for yelling, but it is just so darn weird to have no snow, it is such a novel idea because we are usually buried in snow by now for a month or more my sisters keep telling me. It is my first winter and I am not getting to try anything fun in the snow because we do not have it. 



See normally we get to have the chance to build forts and dress up in our snow clothes and heat hot cocoa up to drink to keep us all warm and toasty. They used to have SaraDawn the Pooka to watch over them, now we have Reeses the Pooka who is a little ornery in comparison. LOL!!


They stacked the sleds so cute in the snow on their fun day .. we have no snow to stack them up in and no snow to see cute animals in either .. it has been a dry snowless winter and will be a drought this summer if we do not hurry and get some snow. 



Now looking at the year before, they got to have tons of fun, they got to go sledding together. Here we have Chaliene, Logan, Brya and Marsali all sledding and having fun together in the SNOW .. that is the important part .. in the snow. 



Then sometimes they would go skiing and snowboarding and have fun in the snow together laughing and getting cold frosty noses. Just look at them all together and enjoying the snow. 



Here we have Kailyee skiing along having fun and her brother Kyle decided to run across her skis and scare her, but he ended up making her wipe out and crash. Boy was he in trouble that day, I thought she might really hurt him. lol


The girls found a cave on their hiking, but the Pooka was not happy with them starting to go into it alone, she came running over and looked in really carefully. Someone had held their dogs from their dog sled there and she could smell them. She did not want the girls going near it. 

The boys .. Traveling JD, Logan and Kyle found a good look out and they checked out the valley and next mountain out, they were all having so much fun playing in the snow. There is that phrase again, "In The Snow" it keeps cropping up and we keep having none .. so rotten. 

Ok, that is enough reminiscent thoughts of winter and snow for today. 

Hugs,

  1. We are in the same boat. WE WANT SNOW!! They are calling for a chance of it here on sunday and monday and they are saying you guys should get snow at least 3 days next week. We will keep our fingers crossed for you guys AND us.

  2. We're also in the same boat. We rarely get snow in our town, but usually the surrounding mountains are covered with snow by now. We've been having spring-like weather...which I suppose is nice, but I really miss the rain!

  3. No snow for me either! It is so bizarre! It's not even cold either. Though it is kind of nice to know that the majority of us are in it together with no snow.

  4. Our weather has been weird, too. We had a cold, overcast summer, and now winter is being really mild for a Canadian winter. It's like our weather just... averaged out to general greyness, or something.

    We did get snow the past couple of days, though.

    I hope you get some snow to play in soon!

    Love,
    Bree

  5. It looks like you had a lot of fun! We haven't had much snow in Ohio since I moved here. Tubing is so much fun!

    See Ya,
