First Snow!

Madeline has seen the snow before but I really don’t think she remembers it from last year.  We had an unexpected snowfall overnight (we usually have one or two a year maximum!).  You need to act fast in Vancouver in order to get the kids the chance to play in the snow.  It is very rare for the snow to last more than a few hours. 

We woke up and immediately the plan was to get the kids out on the sled as soon as possible before school.   It was good that daddy didn’t have to go to work so he had some extra time for them to explore.  Here are the first few photos of Madeline exploring the snow.  In the last photo she looks annoyed at how cold it is!!

This is pretty cool!

Ryan has a lot more experience in the snow!

Ryan can be such a good brother and loved taking her for a ride on the sled.

We got pretty lucky and the snow stayed until after school.  The kids went to the closest hill to slide down.
 
 
 
Here is a video of Madeline going down the slide with daddy.  You can hear her scream a bit!!
