Snow Day

We had a sort of freak snowstorm today which started mid-morning and has continued all day and overnight it will probably add to the already 10cm on the ground. Keep in mind that the snow you see has accumulated today from *nothing* to that depth in a little under 5 hours. Now imagine the roads.





This is Leeloo's first experience with serious snow. What better way to get her used to snow than a good solid overdose? So it was off to the park. It was pretty overcast and I left it a bit late in the day to take decent pictures but you get the idea.

Raimi, who has obviously seen snow before, thought it was a thrill and a half but Leeloo took sometime to warm up to the fun. Once she realized that snow could be a rollicking good time she had to tell Raimi all about it.




Raimi decided to copy Leeloo's pointing pose and ear flap fold. They are quite a pair of copy cats.

It has finally happened. The ear flap phase. This is the age at which the ears are perpetually folded backwards. Not sure why. It' s not like they listen any better ... in fact it seems to get worse. Hope she didn't get too much snow in there.



Raimi dug a nice hole to find some great smell at ground level and shoved his head in it. Leeloo saw him from a distance and she ran over to see if he lost his head. It must have been a good smell or it's just some kind of super fun to stick your head into millions of ice granules. I can stand to not find out.


Raimi doing his sexy super handsome run. He could totally be a Baywatch lifeguard ... can you see it? Slow motion running toward you ... ear flaps flying ... flews waving in the breeze ... totally. Boy to the rescue.





Leeloo rodeo. She was ga-boinging through the snow. This is the rocking horse phase of a ga-boing. It's hard to ga-boing in the snow though and it took her some time to get the timing just right so she wasn't tripping through it.


I like the competing angles in this photo - everything is leaning a different way. Good thing I'm looking at this picture sober.


By the time we were ready to go Leeloo was cold, wet and tired but the snow thing was old hat for her. Hopefully it stick around a couple more days so I can take more pictures in some better light. Currently the two of them are passed out on the sofa ... great snow day.
