Winter fun time is finally here after waiting through a green Christmas.
This year Vero asked that I snowblow some snow into the typical hill that we make but also have a spot where the kids can try out their snowboards. They seem to work out better on a spot where’s not a lot of snow. It worked out quite well as I just blew the snow from area onto the snowhill for the other!
Contrary to popular belief, I was the one who followed Ezra’s lead with his hand in his pocket while having his drink. I thought it would make for a fun picture.
Snowblowing on this particular weekend was tricky. When I started snowblowing the 20cm of snow it was really sticky. Ideal snow for making snowmen. But it was really compacted on the left hand side of the driveway after starting from the right side. Next time I think I will need to start from the left side, blow as much as I can and either do another pass at the end or blow some of it to the right.
The kids built a pretend house in the snow and I started building a snowman. I’ve never seen snow that sticky since we moved to Vars so I took advantage of it. Here’s a hilarious video of Sierra trying to scale the bottom part of the snowman!
The snowman was so high I had to hoist Ezra up to work on it!
The snowman originally had a bucket fez but we traded it in.
A little out of focus but at least we captured the snowman in its glory.
Best buds.
The best part of this weekend was the temperature. Hovering around -2 makes for great days to spend outside. The kids and I had sore muscles that night though! I couldn’t sleep well with my sore arm from snowblowing and building that snowman!
On Sunday we ventured out to Ski Hill Park with Vero and Melody. She wasn’t a happy camper…I suspected she may be teething.

I laughed at how Ezra steered back up the hill instead of heading down
I thought I was a welcome addition to this photo until Vero immediately asked me to leave so she could take a nice photo of the kids.
Nice spot for a snack.
Great winter weekend with some good memories made. I really don’t mind winter with the kids if we can have some fun with it.
