Snow!!

We got up to a light dusting of snow the morning after visiting Niagra Falls, and thankfully, it was enough that the sleds worked without us pulling them down the hill. We have learned that the kids can only really concentrate on sledding for about half an hour, then they need hot chocolate and a break.

The next day there was a fresh fall in the morning (see photo above), and the sledding got so fast that we put a parent at the bottom of the hill to ensure the kids didn't end up in the ditch (with icy water/ice in it). After initially feeling a touch frightened, the baby was very enthusiastic, which shows how much a year changes things. Mr 5 was the perfect age, and really enjoyed himself, but we both got the impression he would have been happier with a pile of snow to shovel with his Christmas snow shovel. 

Very happy that we got some snow - promise (hopefully) of a winter that will come further south!
