Winter WonderLand

We've had a serious lack of snow here in the midwest the past year or so. I never mind having snow, in fact, if it's going to be cold, it may as well snow so the kids can play outside, right?! Well Thursday, it snowed!! It was a heavy, wet snow that clung to the tree branches and stuck tight, it really was a beautiful sight, so this morning we woke up and saw the trees were still heavy with snow and said "get in the car, kids! We're going for a winter adventure"
Look at this amazing scenery! It was harder than I thought it would be to capture a well exposed picture in whiteout conditions!

Baby lost a glove and wasn't happy


Daddy to the rescue! It's warm inside his coat. He tucked her inside where it was nice and toasty!

Harrison is looking at the camera! He was really in his element out in the snowy forest.

I love this shot!

Henry photobombs the shot. I think I like this one even better.



One of the whole family! I think I need some snow pants! I'm wearing yoga pants under my jeans, but I was still cold!

I love this snow princess!
We stopped by the visitors center on our way out. We warmed up and handled animal bones. Yuck.
Maya says "they're sanitized mom" well, OK then....

I remember those days. We used to pull a car hood behind the car.
Yes it was foolish and stupid. Don't do it. Dad power is the best..
I love the snow too...one of my favorite memories is making snow angels... I even painted one of a child making a snow angel just for that sweet memory..
