The first snow of the season is always a special day for me. When I lived in northern Idaho we were guaranteed snow during the winter. In our little town in Idaho we made a special trip down to the cafe for hot chocolate. Here in central Virginia it’s much less certain … so very special when it happens. My point? A snowy day is a wonderful opportunity to get out doors and play with your kids. It can be as simple as just standing in the snow and watching it fall or building snowmen but my favorite is a walk in the woods. My walk in the woods this first snow day took me over a suspension bridge and along a stand of bamboo by the creek. I threw snowballs off of the bridge into the water. For me the fun is retaining that sense of wonder little kids have about discovering their universe and keeping it for life.
