Snow Much Fun!!

A few weeks ago we got our first big snowfall and there was tons of snow. It was quite warm which made the snow perfect for snowmen and snowballs but we decided to build a ramp off the trampoline instead so the kids could toboggan in our backyard. Cyril and I did most of the work but the kids had such a fun time sliding down. The best part was there wasn't a big hill to climb back up. The neighbor kids even came over to play. We've had tons more snow since then but it is just too cold for them to be out there right now. We are looking forward to warmer weather and the Christmas break so we will have more time to play in the snow!

That is awesome. It reminds me of the giant snow pile Dad put on our front lawn growing up and we made a slide out of it.

We've done this same activity this year too but it is much easier when you use a tractor/bobcat to move the snow with. Instant pile of snow!!! Looks like you had a great time as a family. That's what it is all about.

What a great idea! We finally have enough snow that we might have to do this!
