Winter Fun!

Christmas Day turned out to be an awesome day, the wind died down and the temperature went up to -6, which was a nice break from the sub-arctic weather we have been having over the last few weeks.


We left the Wii and headed out to the nearby coulee for some winter fun.


As you can see the snow was up to Carolyn's knees, that's the most I've ever seen on the prairie!


The hill took some work to get the foot of powdery snow packed down enough that the kids could get some speed going down the hill.

Dad worked the best for packing the snow down!!!

On Boxing Day we went into Dunmore to skate on the outdoor rink.

You can tell by Blair's cheeks that the temperature was a little colder on this day; it was -18 in the sunshine!

Erinn got into the game too. Kirby spectated from the snow shredder.

Enough skating; the girls decided to play in the snow.
