Snow... sort of...

Every year we try to make a trip up to the snow.  This year... there just hasn't been much... but we went anyway.  We were actually glad we did.  We went to a cabin that happened to be on a hill and a neighbor used his jeep to make a toboggan run alongside the road.  I didn't get pictures of the run... but we took lots of video.  It was about 75 yards long... and it was quite a ride!

 
 We also built the customary snowman...

...the mandatory snow angels...

...and we used food coloring in spray bottles to make colorful snowballs.

The girls played "polar bear", a game Phoebe invented when she was about 3 years old, which primarily involves crawling around eating snow.

Since the snow wasn't terribly deep we went on a walk... and found animal tracks!  Nora decided they were fox tracks... she swore she saw a fox out the window... but we kinda thought the way they were so close together it seemed pretty rabbit-like.  However... just in case you talk to Nora we all agreed that she must have seen a fox.

Mostly we took things slow... nursed Mike back from a cold... and ate too much food.  It was fun... but I think we might be taking ourselves too seriously...

We really need to relax.
