Snow Day

Overnight it got colder and snowed a lot more. And not sloppy wet snow - nice dry powdery snow - YAY! Troy went to work, and I loaded Ethan up into the backpack to go out exploring and take the dog for a walk. Self-portrait - note the Hallowe'en pumpkins still on my porch almost a month after they should be...
We walked down the hill to the forest and wandered around. Most of the trails were blocked by the branches bowing towards the ground from the weight of the snow. I took lots of scenery pictures - maybe I will do a post of the prettiest pictures once the snow is gone.
Cooper loves the snow. He runs around biting at the ground to get mouthfuls of it. Weird. Also - doesn't he look a little psycho in this picture? Mad dog! Mad dog! We love you Cooper.

Daddy came home after a couple of hours at work so we went back outside again. It is awesome how quiet everything seems in the snow - and peaceful - especially with no traffic coming down any of the streets.

We played and played and played. Ethan had a great time and now apparently is a big fan of the snow except for when he wipes out and does a face plant in it! The smile says it all...
