Playing outside










Today we spent a ton of time outside. It was Maya's first time out this year in full snow gear. The other times we've been out it was either warmer, or very little snow and we just didn't need all the gear. She walked outside, took one step out of the garage and did a full feet in the air, flat on her back Charlie Brown type fall! But she got up, brushed herself off and got right down to playing.
Alex had his heart set on sledding, there really isn't much snow but he shoveled the driveway to use the snow to sled on. Despite the small hill we have in our yard and barely any snow they had a blast.
The second time Maya went down she pitched face first off the sled into the snow. It was in her mouth, down her jacket....thankfully she only cried for a minute and then was ready to go again. She's a tough girl....which is a good thing because she seems to be quite accident prone.
Maya stayed out for two hours and Alex stayed out for about three and a half!
Looks like it will be a good winter here!
