Snow fun

The snow guardian blessed us with a huge dump this week. With snow as low as 600m we couldn't resist a trip up Ben Lomond today. Fortunately, Anaconda had a 4 day sale on and I was able to replace outgrown snow gear at a hugely discounted cost. Being warm and dry makes such a difference to the amount of time and enjoyment you are going to have in the snow. Without too much ado we were off on the short trip to the mountain.The kids were thrilled to see the snow so far below the ranger's hut, but J suddenly realised we'd have to drive up Jacob's ladder and that might be a bit frightening. M then says Mum slow down I'm feeling terrified. (The things kids say)But once I told them I wasn't concerned about the drive up the ladder they both calmed down a little and then hyped up at the idea of throwing snow at each other.And the powdery snow was just perfect for that! It was great to spend the day with friends; sliding and building and bouncing! Hmmm I think there may be a few bruises coming out tomorrow. All worth it; such a beautiful way to spend a Saturday.
