While we did a bit of playing in the snow last winter,
we have done much more this winter. The first big snowfall was Thanksgiving weekend, and D*ave took Z*oe to the park to try out the equipment. The bonus of the park in winter is that it is usually deserted - apparently not all Minnesot*ans like snow (for the record, its not really our favorite either).
(That's D's boot in the last one.)
Gma and Gpa Sund*seth also take Z and A out in the snow sometimes while their mommies and daddies are at work... sometimes just in the back yard-
or sometimes around the block in the wagon...
So if we had no winter (and maybe you don't where you live), I do have to say we would miss out a bit - sure we wouldn't have Snow Emergencies, frozen digits, extra gear, and cars that don't start, but we also would miss the joy of bundling up a toddler or two, watching them bumble through the snow bank (and always fall), or see them go shooting off the end of a slide into the snowbank!
Oh the joys of winter... I do appreciate a bit of it (while still so excited that it got above freezing yesterday for the first time in 2009 - spring is coming! (maybe?)
