Snow Play - Part 1

This last weekend we snuck away for a quick trip to the snow.

How lucky are we to be so close to such a great winter playground?

We took Geema and Papa with us and headed for the hills.

Luckily, I bought a jacket extra big last year,

and we squished the feet into snowboots one size too small

and headed out to play.

I can't tell you how funny the following was

and unfortunately I didn't take a picture that adequately sets the scene.

But there were two of these contraptions that each took a dozen kids on a ride

around and around and around.

With their bums firmly squished inside the inner tube,

they were pulled round and round in circles

by a machine with four long posts

each with three kids and inner tubes attached.

First time around Sof was on the inside track 

and this was about the extent of her excitement.

Second time, Daddy put her on the outside loop which traveled

a little faster much to the delight of our speed demon.

Gotta tell ya.....

sure beats me trying to pull her through the snow.
