As we first arrived in Woodland Park, there was a slight dusting of snow. It melted within a day or two and Wade was really disappointed. I mean, in TX, when the snow melts, it's GONE. Until next year (or the year after that)!
So when the snow came back. And back again, he was really excited. Lily, on the other hand is still not as thrilled. It's wet and cold... But she's learning to adapt ;-)

The perfect way to spend Christmas Eve...
Mark wanted to explore a "nearby" lake for possible ice fishing. After an hour drive, we arrived. Lily took one step out of the car and fell face first into the snow. She was not amused. Wade thought it was awesome to be walking on thin ice. His words :-) We totally forgot to dress him in his snow pants though. After a while he was really cold and super wet. We stripped him down in the car and blasted the heat on the way home and he eventually thawed out. Lesson learned!

A few days after Christmas, we decided to explore outside and look at all the deer and bird tracks in the snow. Lily hasn't quite mastered walking while being all bundled up (picture A Christmas Story). Every few steps she takes, she falls, which only adds to her annoyance of the cold, wet, white stuff. Wade, on the other hand, could probably live outdoors. As long as he has his snow pants on.
