It was warm today, so we played IN the snow today. The word In is the key action. Tuks has sled through, walked through, ran through the snow, but until today, never IN. In the past if she had fallen down, she would freeze and I would have to get her up, but today we worked through all her fears. She was crawling IN, walking IN, lying IN, eating it IN, falling IN and getting up from IN, and she couldn't get enough of it. I had forgotten the joy of snow. It had been many years since I was around such a young child and quite frankly I forgot my joys of it from my childhood. It all came back today, and it gave me a visual of what future winters could hold for us as Tuks gets older and she has sisters to play "King of the Mountain" with... Again a lovely day in Snowville.....
It was also a reminder of our view of things when we view from a far, or read a lot about a subject, versus getting involved and in addition to reading, gain experience. It makes life so much more interesting when we are IN the middle of it..

i love snow, just not in march!
I loved "King of the Mountain" when I was a kid!
It is so true that you learn to love snow all over again when you have kids. . . I just find that their young bones can tolerate the cold for much longer than my old ones can :)
We had 2" of snow last night but I'm sure you have much more. I am working on running after not doing it for many years. I am only up to 12 minute out of 30 so far. I am using a program from beginnertriathlong.com
