dorrington 2011: day three

May 29th, 2011 | Posted by Bryn

saturday night we all fell asleep to the sound of light rain on the roof of the cabin. sunday morning we awoke to this:

springtime winter wonderland!
the cabin

i’ve seen plenty of snow in my life, but most of it was already on the ground, so to watch it fall from the sky all morning was quite a spectacle. at first ellie didn’t seem to care about it one way or the other; she just wanted to watch caillou. i asked my dad to take a few pictures of us on the porch right after we woke up. it was cold and she wasn’t impressed ;)

but once the cars were all packed and it was time to shut everything down, she was ready to see what this snow stuff was all about. STOP THE PRESSES! unlike her first experience with sand, she even touched it! with her hands!

stepping in snow first touch

by the time we moved from the back porch to the front porch, the snow was really coming down. ellie stomped in it with her shoes and then looked up so she could feel it on her face. i got some great pictures of her as she giggled with delight.

snowflake face!
snowy face!

the drive home from our weekend in dorrington was almost as lovely as ellie’s snow experience there. the weather gods provided us with some awesome scenery, and since my dad was driving i was able to snap a few pretty shots.
