Our 1st Winter Wonderland in O.S.

2 Dec 2010: It started snowing yesterday but most of the snow melted when the flakes touch the ground. By nightfall, with the drop in temperature, we had about 2 cm of snow on the ground. When morning came, everything was blanketed in white and our winter wonderland was right outside our window. It was still snowing at around 4.30 pm when we decided to go out and play with the snow. By then we had about 10 to 15 cm of snow in the garden. Dyl wasn't too thrilled getting into his winter jacket, splash pants, mitts, scarf, and hat - "No need, I tell you," he announces as he stands by the door with his "clompy" boots on. Fortunately mum's good sense prevailed and so here's a picture of him all "winterised" and ready to play in the snow.


Del showed Dyl how to make a snow angel and here he is doing one.
Ta-daaaa! Can you see Dylan's snow angel in the next picture?



Dyl had a fun time rolling around in the white stuff, crawling through it and just laying down in it. He can't really make snowballs so when he throws his "snowballs", they come down like confetti in his face'. Del on the other hand, made plenty of snowballs and had a fun time pulling at the snow-covered branches just so the snow would fall on her uncovered head.
