Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go. For the children, they mark, and the children they know the place where the sidewalk ends.

MONTANA SNOW FUN

We cant' go to Montana this time of year and not play in the snow! We went up to a park near where my mom and live and let the kids go sledding...

Papa also brought his snow shoes...

It was a good thing, because the snow was so deep, that until I put snow shoes on, I kept taking steps and disappearing up to my thighs (kind of scary with Anne in the Baby Bjorn).

As much snow as their was, it was actually quite warm (in the 40's)...Anne started getting mad at being so bundled up, so she went in the car with Nanny

The kids and Evan had a blast going down the hills.



I came upon Heather laying in the snow with her eyes closed, catching snowflakes with her tongue...



Ewan got pretty tired climbing back up the hill each time...he would cry all the way up the hill and then ride back down, cry all the way up and ride back down...



It was fun to have one last snow adventure...but I sure am ready for spring!

I really hate the snow but that looks like so much fun. The kids are adorable.

Fantastic pictures. How fun to have one last snow adventure before Spring brings other activities.

Wasn't that a great day!! I can't believe Evan was under the weather it was hard to keep up with him. We are so glad you made the effort to come visit us, we know it was a sacrifice to come all that way with 4 children. We love you all and the photos are great.
Love mom and dad

I can't imagine snow right now, it's been so sunny and warm here in Georgia! I guess I'll probably have to get used to snow. I've heard it snows a lot where we will be in Germany. Looks like you had a great vacation!

Well by the looks of all the smiling faces I think you all had a blast! I miss the snow - send some my way.
