When Colorado gets dumped on, we go out to play.
Sometimes... that play requires a helmet and goggles.
After more than a decade in the corner of the garage, Keith brought his old 3-wheeler back to life.
It may have spit, sputtered and taken away from the ozone layer a bit, but Keith was in hog heaven.
It wasn't long and he had a sled tied to the back and a kid on the sled.
(don't worry, Mommy kept a watchful eye and threatened Daddy's life if any harm to the boys occurred).
It wasn't long and both boys were saddled up.
VAROOM!!!!
Fresh Powder in the Face!
It was here that Kellan had enough fun on the sled. Maybe because he was getting a straight shot of powder to the face. Oliver, he was ready for more.
WAHOO!!!!!
It's great to be a Colorado kid with a Wyoming Daddy!!!
Many summertime posts include Keith in this pose, but he's usually mowing the lawn.
Have you ever seen someone snow blow the backyard?
Keith was piling up snow to a tunnel fort.
The boys were shoveling a clear pathway.
After some snow blowing, shoveling and digging, a tunnel was coming to be.
Owen came over to hang with the Ham Fam and build a tunnel fort.
Daddy was the official supervisor and strong arm.
Charlie came over too and added to the fun of four.
Counter Clockwise from top:
Oliver, Owen, Kellan and Charlie
The supervisor was great at striking a pose on the equipment.
Isn't he adorable?!
After much time outside, the fun foursome came inside to battle. After discussing the Civil War over lunch (true story), they reenacted it in our house.
Nerf Guns - Check
Safety Glasses - Check
We have learned the hard way that eye injuries are easy when Nerf guns are in the picture.
Resolution, safety glasses.
Grandpa Garner would be so proud!
With the Civil War reenactment in the books, Charlie and Oliver were back outside to put the final touches on the tunnel fort.
Oliver headed to the garage for the final touch.
A sled!
As dark was approaching, Oliver and Charlie paused for a quick moment from sledding down the fort for a photo.
As much fun as Oliver and Charlie were having, Kellan had no interest in braving the snowy cold. He made it clear how he felt about the final activity of the day.
Happy Snow Day!

Not sure which one of your boys are having more fun, but they are all super cute.
Best post ever! THAT is exactly how winter should be! That's what we did growing up, too. Oh, my lands! I can still remember squealing like crazy on the sled behind the four-wheelers! So glad you broke all the laws of "don't drive unlicensed vehicles in the cul de sac" and gave your kiddos the best snow day ever. And PS. The sun shining across your tiled floor shows that it's SPOTLESS, and now I'm envious and need to go mop something at MY house...
