at the beach in winter

So what do you do at the beach in winter? Play of course! We walked out to see the lake and when the kids jumped off the wall into the snow, they discovered that it was even deeper than the foot and a half of covering we had already trudged through to get that far. It was now a cushiony bed up against the wall. So that was good for several leaps and lots of laughter.





Next they tried out the slide. It is very fast with snowpants on and dumped them into another huge pile of snow. Good for more gut wrenching laughter.


They also loved leaping off the swings into the slides or falling off backwards into the drifts.

However it didn't take very long before the cold had taken it's toll and we were hurrying as much as you can through thick snow, back to the van, which I luckily had not gotten stuck in the parking lot (I very nearly did get stuck and ended up opting to park right on the road, facing homeward!)



Warmth, home and some hot chocolate or vanilla milk are always a welcome treat to fun outside in the cold winter.
