Snow Day Stowe Day

That's what the Mr declared it since we got a small blanket of snow overnight into Monday.  While we weren't as lucky as our second home of Stowe, Vermont...

...we at least had enough to go play in and wanted to get out there before noon and people started brining their dogs to the park.  The Mr grabbed our trekking poles for an upper body workout and our snow sneakers and away we went.

We didn't think there was enough of a base for our snow shoes because we knew from being out in it the night before there was a layer of ice under there and the metal cleat can sometimes slip on ice so this was the safer bet.

There was a bird meeting going on down by the creek.

We enjoyed mostly having the trail to ourselves until the final round.

When we got back, it was time for lunch the only way a snow day should be done while our wet pants dried by the fire:

Snowy days were made for grilled cheese and soup!  (If you need some warm fuzzies)

A week or so ago, we enjoyed coloring a little and lamented over the bleed from modern coloring books so I surprised the Mr with some vintage Star Wars books for him and Peanuts for me.

Later that evening, we headed back to the park because I always said when there's snow, we're going to do a fire and that's what we did.

I won't say it's the warmest we've ever been since the wind was in full effect the whole time and I'm pretty sure the Mr was cursing me under his breath but we did it so there's that.  As soon as we got home, I hopped right into the shower to wash off the campfire smoke and warm up.  Pretty sad when hot water on your skin runs cold off of you.  We turned on the fireplace and cozied in for the rest of the night and made the most of our snow day from beginning to end since it'll be gone tomorrow.

Anyone else get snow?
