Outside Adventure in the Winter Wonderland

Getting ready to go outside and play in the snow and build a "SNOWMAN"... One of the things Chandler and Chase wanted to make sure they got to do while in New York.... Here Mom and Dad starting to get them ready for their outside adventure....I think it was just an adventure watching Mom and Dad get them ready .....
This is definitely not a one man job... Both Mom & Dad work together to get their boys ready...(I'd like to add here that not only is Tasha a wonderful Mom.... but Matt is also a great Dad... They work together very well sharing the responsibilities between the two of them)
Even Charlie gets ready to go outside.... No one gets left out....
Chase is all ready to go.... "But, can you move, Chase??"
Gramma decided he had too much neck showing so before he went out, she lent him one of her scarves.....

Let the games begin.... Chase is checking out one of Gramma's and Grampa's 'mountains' in their front yard....What a challenge that was to climb...."Right Chase?!"


Gramma's scarf getting a good winter work out as well....Chase had a few tumbles... but true to nature... kept right on going...not much can hold this young one back....

Grampa Bruce brought home his trailer so the boys got to check out the inside... Chandler decided it was safe enough for us to enter and gave us the go ahead to do so.... He also thought it'd be a great place to have a party.....

Charlie agrees......

Chase discovers the neighbors "fake" goose... and tries to make friends with him...

Time to build the SNOWMAN!! Dad starts things off by trying to gather enough snow to make the base with.... This isn't as easy as you might think, seeing all the snow about us.... It wasn't all that packy or easy to grab hold of even.... but we were determined so we kept our eyes on the goal ahead....

Mom helps the boys gather some twigs for our snowman's arms....
Grampa Bruce and Charlie watching from the sidelines....
Even Gramma Lehman gets into the act....

We found an area with some small rocks to use for our snowman's face.... Chase goes in to pick them up....
It was easier getting in then out... Dad to the rescue!!
Adding a few final touches to our snowman.... He's almost done...
And here we have it.....
The Lehman 5 and their New York Snowman.... Great job guys!!.... Hey.... where's his hat??

Chandler shows Gramma Lehman how he can make a snow angel.... I wasn't sure how that was done... Thanks Chandler!....
After we finished with the snowman Tasha took Charlie inside to warm up and the boys and Gramma took a little walk around the neighborhood.... Here we are on the final trek of our journey home.....
Chandler found one last mountain to climb.... You go Chandler!!
Time to go in now.... and time for some homemade chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate.... Right Chandler!!....


The end of another adventure with the Lehman 5.... What a wonderful day it was seeing everything as new again through the eyes of Chandler, Chase, & Charlie...Thanks for the great memories!!!
