Playin' in the Snow

The snow began to fall on Saturday morning. With a predicted 8-10" on the way, I had a number of options:

i) Go to the store and stock up on food
ii) Settle in and stay off the roads
(iii) Start shoevling
(iv) Panic!

Of course, I chose option (v): Hop in the car with the Chatty Chatty Princess (the "CCP") and drive to Grandma's house!

With this being the first real snow of the season, the CCP was filled with the need to be outside. And all of the responsible items on the list, like shopping, and shoveling, lost their appeal next to the CCP's unbridled excitement.

So we got our snow clothes on, hopped in the car, and headed over the river and through the woods to Grandma's.

Then we played in the snow!!!!

We went sledding!
We made snow angels!
We ate snow!

And when we were finished playing, we went inside for freshly baked cookies and hot cocoa.

Forget being a grown-up ...
it's snowing out side and I'm going to Grandma's house!!!
