Snow Penguin

After being bitterly cold all last week, the weekend was a welcome change.  It got up to 36 degrees here Saturday, and yesterday it was about 40.  We had plenty of snow still, so although it was melting like crazy, the kids had more than enough for some fun.

Nathaniel helped them make a snow penguin, complete with orange eyes.

He also made a tobaggan run for Lydia.  The boys enjoyed sledding down the front hill, and mostly they enjoyed throwing snow balls for nearly 3 hours.

It's cold again today, so the kids are thrilled that their penguin isn't going to be melting any time real soon.
