the magic of their first snow fall

 

 

 

driving home snow started to fall so we pulled off the freeway and let the boys play in it. It was only 20 minutes or so, although I'm sure they would have played longer if they could...and we were parked off the freeway enjoying it...next time hopefully we can actually spend a day at the snow...but it was magic all the same. It fell quietly and peacefully on our heads and we loved every single minute of it!! I was just as excited as the boys...maybe even a little bit more....
.....memories and magic.


and some clips from the fun.....
