It’s been snowing on and off for the last few days here in Southwest Michigan, and seeing as how we currently live about 200 feet from a set of dunes, it seemed only right to head out for some sledding today. It was about 18 degrees and the wind whipping off of Lake Michigan gave us a chill, but the boys had a blast sliding down the dunes (we were the first to sled on this particular snowfall, so it took a few runs to pack it down…meaning the boys got buried in a few drifts and soft spots!) Here are a few shots I got before my fingers got too numb to work the camera:
Thanks to Bring The Family for the instructions on how to make a photo mosaic.
Edited to add: I just had to share close-ups of a few of these. Because…because how could I not? Just look at my guys!
William
Owen
Jacob
The whole gang
Unfortunately, I didn’t get any good close-ups of Isaac since he kept most of his face covered the entire time…and was so busy running back up the hill that I could never zero in on him.
Awww! Everyone looks great. The hubby keeps trying to get us all to go but I keep telling him it could be a “dad” thing.
I still have a 22 month old (too little IMO) and they have been taking turns getting strep. No reason for the older ones to miss out! It is suppose to get below 0 here so it won’t happen this week!
Melissa, when my littlest was smaller I always put myself in charge of staying home and making cocoa
Now, it’s hard because he really wants to go with the “big boys” but needs one-on-one help. The snow came up to his hips in some places! Luckily, he was mostly content to stand off to the side with me and watch. There was no way I was trudging up a snow-covered dune in my “delicate” condition.
Exactly - I want to stay home and do cocoa duty…but he is really into doing things as a family…as soon as everyone is of age we are really going to be busy - bicycling, hiking, sledding….
These came out great! I think your faves were mine, too; esp. that angle on Jacob’s face. We are so lucky to live where we do with all this snow.
i can’t believe how old owen looks!
What a sweet little pack o’ men!
CUTE!
It’s been really cold here too (UK) but unfortunaltey no snow!
How Fun! William looks like he’s especially having a blast.
