For the past four years, our winter months have been Miami 80 degrees days, beach toys and bike rides. This year we decided it was time for a change. Joe rode at Oaklawn this winter instead of Gulfstream. Oaklawn is in Arkansas, which means it was close enough to commute to, for me and the boys. Also Brodie got to stay in his little school, which he loves, and we got to stay home! It also means that the boys got to experience something they never have before, SNOW! Turns out they love it. We had an exceptionally cold winter this year, so the boys had lots of days off from school, built lots of snowmen and played, played, played. When they weren't playing, they were sledding, snow boarding, and building snow forts. Overall, it was amazing. Since I grew up in California, it was my first real winter too.
Our first snow came just before Thanksgiving
Luke is not quite as excited as the rest of us
Max was an immediate fan
We took the boys to a local place to go tubing
for most of the winter our backyard looked like this
our little path we kept clear to the garage
and the driveway we cleared daily
Our guest bathroom turned into our "drying room"
and Brodie more than pulled his weight shoveling, turns out this little guys is a machine when it comes to clearing the driveway
he also mastered his little snowboard. Next year we are going to have to find a real hill for this little guy. He had mastered ours in a few attempts.
