We have been waiting for snow. Excited to catch fresh new inches of snow, waiting to measure how much snow measures and how much melts!! But, we were enticed with a sneak peak into spring. So instead of snowshoeing for a few days came bike riding, and wandering in the woods in nearly t-shirts!
The snow finally arrived Saturday and we were in it all day Sunday. Snowshoeing, catching snowflakes, measuring snow in a container. The boys loved all the adventures..as mom I was dying for them to see an individual flake, but I don't think there eyes saw one but millions!! They are so beautiful. Cedar enjoyed collecting snow in a mason jar and placing tape where he thought the snow would melt to water. As a 4 yr old logic said lots of snow = lots of water!! In the morning he was surprised to see such a little amount in the jar!
We also left a container out overnight to see how many inches fell while we slept. The container was filled to the brim, but unfortunately Truth got a hold of it before we stuck the measuring tape in it and began tipping and eating!! Luckily the container was full so we were still able to measure how much snow fell..4 inches!
So with the snow back we are back in the snowshoes, back tromping in the woods looking for signs of animals tracks and trolls!
