Winter Wonderland

Just when you thought Winter may have come to an end and we were headed for Spring, more flurries have come to grace us with its presence. So why not embrace it?

I think back to when I was a kid and all the crazy winter wonderland adventures I'd get myself into. Here are a list of a few memorable moments.


1. Went sledding in my backyard and ran into a pole. Had a black eye for a week!
2. Built a snow fort in the backyard in an attempt to make an igloo. We fell a little short.
3. Climbing on the snow banks and bruised my tail bone. Had to rest a few days before walking around the mall.
4. Put water on the hill in my backyard to make it extra slippery. We could barely climb to the top of the hill to go down.
5. Went sledding in the backyard again and got stuck under the fence. Had to rip my snow pants just to get me out.
6. Anxiously awaiting a snow day so I could play in the snow and make a snowman.
7. Playing in the snow and sledding for hours. Then coming into the house for a nice cup of hot chocolate and marshmellows.

Oh, the list goes on and on...
