Snow Day!

We finally got our first snow storm of the season.  We had been eagerly awaiting it!  The Pacific Northwest was hit hard last week with snow.  I have to say I had wish we were there but after numerous days of it I started to feel bad for everyone!  We only had about 3 inches of snow but just enough to get out and play. 

It was cold in the high 20s and windy.  So we had to find spots that were protected from the wind.  The girls loved it.  They both made snow angels for the first time (I think).  Rachel really wanted to make frosty but the snow was not good for packing.  So instead she settled for eating it.  She would walk a step, bend down and get some snow to eat.  Then walk another step and eat some more.  Luckily, we got outside early and all the snow was still pretty clean. :)

After playing around we walked over to Tear Drop Park to check out the slide.  Mom and Dad had learned from our experience this summer with the water on the slide and knew it was going to be fast.  So Luna went first and Dad was at the bottom to catch her.  Good thing he was, she shot off the slide like a bullet.  Rachel wanted to go next and she flew too.  Daddy caught her as well but it was still scary for her.  She was done.  Luna went one more time sitting on Daddy's lap.  Below, they are at the top getting ready to slide down.  They shot off of it and we were all done, a little too fast for us.  :)

A fun snowy Saturday here in NYC!

FYI - Couple interesting things about the very top photo of Brian and the girls.  Our apartment building is on the right hand side, the red brick building.  You can see the Freedom Tower in the back ground, going up next to the site of the World Trade Center Memorial.  The overpass you see in the photo is where my boot camp meets if we are outside and it is raining.
