A Hike in the Snow

Since Joli didn't have school today, we wanted to take a hike. We were very excited to discover that it had snowed on our favorite path! Markus hasn't seen snow since he was a little baby, so he was very excited!!
 


 It's been just as long since Joli's been to the snow, so she was probably just as excited!
 It was simply a coincidence that I happened to be wearing my "snow" hat.

 The dogs were happy just to eat the snow.

 Joli was happy to slide down the hill on her jacket.



 Markus apparently has seen a show or movie in which you're supposed to throw snowballs, because he was really excited to try it.

 We attempted to make a snowman. It was tiny.
 Markus was not happy to discover the effects of being hit with a snowball.
 Finally we got the kids out of the snow and actually started hiking.

 Joe was basically the pack mule. I offered to carry Markus and eventually did, but he was very happy on Daddy's shoulders.


Such a lovely hike!
