Snowy Days

The snow has arrived in PA. Apparently, it's a little later than normal so I guess it was waiting for our arrival. Last week we got a few inches over a couple days and then last night and today we got another 6 inches. It took several trips to the store to pull together Carrington's snow suit but once the final purchase was made last Sunday, we headed outside to check out the white stuff.
Now, Carrington has made it pretty clear over the last month that she doesn't enjoy the cold. She is typically saying, "Brrr" before we even make it out the door. How can you blame her! She's spent the last two years living at the beach, not typically known for cold weather.
So, Sunday afternoon when the wind started hitting her in the face and the snow came right behind it, she was ready to go back in before we even started playing. Thankfully, after taking a ride on the sled her thoughts on the cold and snow were a little more excepting. She likes fun, excitement and speed. The sled was all those so contentment lasted a few trips down the hill. She even tried out making a snow angel with Aaron. All and all, she lasted about 15 minutes.
The same goes for today when I took her out on my own. She didn't make it off the porch before looking at me and said, "lets go in mommy." The wind and snow immediately hit her in the face and that was enough in her book. Once on the sled she was a little more willing to stay out. I even got a picture of her in the sand box or "snow" box as it's used in the winter.
She never once asked to leave the beach, get out of the ocean, or had a problem with the sand in her face. Guess it's not hard to tell where she would rather spend her time! Guess we are going to have to toughen her up while we are in PA!
