It was a wintry kind of weekend in NS!
We curled Saturday morning, we slid Saturday afternoon, and the kids worked on the fort they’re building in the big snowbank in front of our house (living at the end of a court is good for that sort of thing!).
We recently discovered a great sliding hill at a nearby school. It’s just the right steepness and length so the boys can walk back up themselves and get just enough speed – the most important part!
Eleanor isn’t into sliding so much yet so she doesn’t last too long. Maybe next year.



On Sunday we took our snowshoes and some good friends and took to a trail that runs just behind our subdivision. The trail was well run over and packed over and the boys were wanting to run so we didn’t actually get to try out our new snowshoes (next time, nana and papa!) but the afternoon was beautiful!

We veered off the trail and found a spot to make a campfire, complete with hotdogs and s’mores. Eleanor didn’t enjoy this part so much because the snow was kind of deep and I think she got cold once we stopped walking. Maybe for this year we will keep the campfires to our back yard. 
The last couple of days have been rainy and warm, so … bring on the next winter storm!! Winter is nowhere near as fun when it’s green!
