Yesterday as he watched the snow fall, Ethan became obsessed with a stick that was slowly getting buried in the accumulating snow. He kept asking me if we could go help it. This would be easy, except that my in-laws have an acre of land that is all on a steep incline, and Ethan was trudging through snow up to his knees. Here he is pulling his shovel behind him. You can actually see the stick we're headed toward just in front of the stairs.
We took the sled in case I had to pull him back up to the front of the house. I wasn't about to carry him and Colin. Here he is digging out the stick.
And so proud of himself for coming to its rescue.
Sadly, he lost interest in it after about 30 seconds, threw it back into the snow and trudged back up to the house. Oh, well. It was a fun little adventure.

Ethan is such a fun little guy. I wish that we lived close so that our boys could know each other better. We are looking forward to playing with you this summer at the beach house, though. Maybe someday you'll have a vacation home out here.
Oh what fun Grammy and Papa's house is!

I think that's the best kind of snow. You get to see it and the kids get to play in it, but we don't have to shovel it. I'm glad everyone's having a great time.
Would you let Ethan know there about 500 sticks that need to be gathered at the bottom of the property. Go get em!
