First Time Playing in the Snow… with ghetto boots

I was actually hoping that the Orlando ground hog would see his shadow, and we’d have 6 more weeks of this thing that we call winter here.  We have highs in the mid 70’s and lows in the 60’s.  Don’t be too jealous because we pay for it with blistering hot summers. 

This winter Kyton got to play in the snow for the first time while we were visiting my parents.  He went out in the snow last year, but didn’t really get to play in it since he was too young.   This year was different. 

I borrowed winter coats, and snowpants from my cousin who has a son that is slightly older than Kyton.  I sort of forgot how snow has a tendency to get into shoes, and didn’t think about getting boots.  So we went with ghetto boots… Plastic bags with rubber bands around them on the outside of Kyton’s shoes.  I don’t think he was a big fan of the boots.

 

As far as the snow, he LOVED it!

He had great fun throwing snowballs at my sister, her fiancé and  Dylan.

He decided that gloves were too restricting, and that he would use his bare hands to grip the cold snow.  Silly boy.

He learned that on three the snowball was thrown, so he shouted ‘eee’ (three) when throwing, or asking for a snowball to be thrown. 

 

I think this kid could get used to the snow!  Is there snow where you live now?
