Playing in the snow is extra fun with our swing set (aka super snow sled slide and arctic fort).  Aiden and J got out to sled just after the snow stopped falling on our first snow day, but Keaton who had just come in from losing his gloves and boots in the snow (he also lost a Lego figure I somehow located five inches under the fluffy snow - phew!) was not having any more of the cold.  But the next day he was all in like a little boy that grew up in NH.  The clubhouse hill a couple houses down is the perfect spot.  It was still in nice shape without too many ice chunks and slick enough without the powder flying in your face like the day before. We ended up staying almost an hour!  The best rides were in daddy's lap nest on the tiny round sled.  Mommy's rides on the long sled usually ended up backwards or turned around over some big bumps.
