First Snow and Winter in the Mountains

It has been a rather exciting long weekend. This morning, we had our first snowfall. Master Allanon took Amberle and Merilwen outside for a lesson in how to make a gazing ball out of snow.
It was too cold to stay out for long and the girls were happy to come in and warm their hands at the fireplace.Penny and I accompanied our people to the mountains this weekend to visit relations.

We had fun exploring the little storage building near the house.
Not to mention swinging on the tire swing as the sun came up.
I wanted to go for a ride of a different sort and convinced Penny to help me slide across the old clothesline. Look, I'm flying!
We climbed a tree...

and just enjoying watching the sun rise over the mountains.
