Snow Fun

While the weather is cold and the driving is rough, there is still fun to be had. As a child I played in the snow well into the darkness and wouldn't come inside until my fingers were frozen together. I remember thawing out at the dinner table, my cheeks being the last body part to warm up, having been exposed the longest. A warm meal and a cup of steamy cocoa was the perfect comfort after a wintry play day.

Though the polar vortex has made it difficult to be outside for any period of time, we got out there and made a tunnel in a mountainous snow pile. We also made a snow friend with the traditional carrot nose and leftover Christmas chocolates. He has already mostly melted, but I'm sure he'll be back again some day.
