Fun in the First Snow!

Charlie and his snowman.

 We are supposed to get 6-12 inches of snow in the next 36 hours and it started this morning, so we decided to head outside and play in the fresh snow! We started out by making a snowman, then we got Charlie on his skis, then did a little sledding. The snow was perfect for making a snowman, and we had everything we needed to complete him!
Charlie did SO AWESOME skiing! Grandpa and Grandma got him new skis and boots this year, so this was his first time on them. We figured we'd get him out on the driveway a couple times before we actually took him to Marquette Mountain. He was super excited and had a smile on his face the whole time... even when he fell down in the snow! All he needs to work on is his balance. He tends to lean back instead of forward. We will try again tomorrow, and Pete will put his skis on to make it a little easier. We are so excited that he likes it so much!

A perfect little snowman.

I think he was having a LITTLE fun!

I finally passed the camera over to Pete for a picture. So glad I did!
