Snow Day

Yesterday it snowed and snowed and snowed here in Utah until we got about about 5-6 inches of snow. So of course, Christopher being the big kid at heart that he is decided he wanted to take Dawson outside to play in the snow. Well, Dawson didn't have a snow suit and we had a busy day so at 9:30pm last night we were in Walmart buying Dawson a snowsuit so he could go play out in the snow with Daddy. So we went to church, Dawson napped, ate lunch, and finally it was time to go play! Well, of course he had to get all bundled up which he HATES so he screamed for ten minutes followed by probably ten more minutes of sitting there whining cause he couldn't move (does A Christmas Story pop into mind where the little boy can't put his arms down? Yep it looked just like that.) So the three of us headed outside (I was the photographer) and Dawson was wide eyed! He sat there in the snow just looking around smiling, it was so funny. Christopher attached a rope to a snow tube so he could pull Dawson all around the yard and he giggled the whole time. We were all having tons of fun...until the slide incident. We have a little play gym in the backyard for him so I put him on it, he slide down, and being all bundled up with no control flew face first into the snow. Oops! (In my defense he loves the slides at Gymboree and does just fine on those.) So needless to say, there were many tears, one cold little face, a mom who felt horrible, and snow time was over. At least we got a few cute pictures out of it right?
