Andrew's First Snow

Andrew had a blast playing in the snow for the first time (we were at Disney World when it snowed here in March). There was at least 4 inches already on the ground when we got there so I went and bout Andrew some snow boots and waterproof gloves. Then it snowed like 8 inches that day and night and we went out to play in the snow the next day. Andrew had a really hard time walking in all that snow and kept telling me it was cold. He would just plop down in it and wait for me to pick him up. We didn't stay out too long that first day. Before we went out again I bought him some snow pants so he would stay warmer. Needless to say all the boy snow pants were sold out so he is wearing some "red" girl's pants. They sure did work. When we went out that 2nd time with Aunt Amanda and Brihannah he didn't complain at all that it was cold even though the temperature that day was a lot colder. Finally daddy came and got to take Andrew out. It had rained a bit so the snow was somewhat easier to pack but still not enough to make a snowman. However, it was just right for Andrew to go sledding in Grandma and Grandpas backyard. The incline was perfect for a 2 1/2 year old and he loved it.


The snow was as deep as Andrew's legs
and he couldn't walk in it very well.


By the end of the first day in the snow he got pretty cold
and was crying to go in.
Andrew kept asking to be picked up
This was on our 2nd day out in the snow
Grandma gave Andrew a shovel to dig in the snow.
Walking in all that snow wasn't easy

He would just fall down and not try to get up.
He looked like the little brother from "A Christmas Story".
