When we went to sleep last Friday night, there was a light dusting of snow on the ground.  When we woke up, over half a foot had fallen! And snow was still coming down. Here in Seattle, that’s a big deal.

Of course the kids wanted to go sledding, so we turned our usual Saturday morning walk into a snowy adventure.  The sledding combined with all the other activities we smashed into our schedule amounted to a pretty fantastic day.

Here are the basics of our epic snow day:

• Search for the perfect sledding hill.  Trickier than we thought, since our Seattle snow is pretty heavy and wet…and someone may have ended up in the lake. 
• Find some delicious baked goods.  Valentines Day donuts from Madison Park Bakery. 
• Once home, play some more.  Also shovel since several more inches fell while we were on our walk. 
• Bake homemade cookie bars.  I guess the donuts weren’t enough!
• Enjoy some hot chocolate, cozy up, and watch a movie as a family.  We chose Over the Moon.   It’s up for a Golden Globe Award for best animated film.
