The Elderly Snow Traveler

 After the blizzard there were several more light snowfalls, so the kids and I decided it was high time we made a giant snow sculpture.  We weren't sure what we wanted to make, but we knew we wanted it to be taller than me. So we just started gathering snow and piling it up.  After we had a pretty big mountain of snow, Songbird took over with the decorating.  She found some sticks for arms, a scarf, and a snow block maker which looks like a suitcase to me.  Hence the elderly snow traveler. :)

We were also bemoaning the fact that Brunswick is so flat, dreaming of using our sleds to fly down hills, when it occurred to me that we had enough snow in the yard that we could make our own hill.  So we made a snow slide. Songbird even made a ladder in the back so they could climb up and sled down.  They actually had a lot of fun sliding the afternoon away.
