If you have a lot of energy from the pre-game excitement, take it outdoors and have some fun playing your own games in the snow. Snow ball fights, snow angels, snow mobiles, and sledding provide so much family fun on a weekend like this.
What do four wheelers and sleds have in common?
My husband and his siblings devise up all kind of entertaining ideas for fun or just for your look-on amusement. When you have access to a farm, you can do all sorts of things in the snow. For starters, we hook up the sleds behind the four wheelers and go for a ride. For the big kids, water skies are fun to try behind the four wheeler.
For much safer fun, Judah is not afraid to go down the sled by himself on the hill of our nearby golf course. In fact, he declares "more" to go again and again. He goes down with mommy, daddy, and Papa as Gigi takes pictures.
Some days, we just bundle up so all you can see are the eyes. We try walking in the deep drifts. Or perhaps we color the snow with sidewalk chalk or spray designs with colored water. We fill up the bird feeder for the birds and those pesky squirrels. We still manage to find sticks and rocks somehow (that make their way indoors). And all the while we observe the beauty of the white powder that blankets the earth and drops flakes on trees.
Then we come indoors for some hot chocolate with marshmallows. We warm up on the couch and curl up with a good book such as Millions of Snowflakes by Mary Siddals or Snow Day by Ezra Keats. We fall asleep for nap time and dream about snow.
