I put my wee man to bed on Thursday night and whispered to him that we were going to the mountains in the morning and would hopefully find some snow. He whispered one word back at me "snowman". I crossed everything that we would find snow in the morning. We drove to San Giorgio and thankfully there was plenty. The wee man could not contain his excitement. It was fascinating seeing the different imprints you can leave in the snow. There was a bit of slipping and sliding and sometimes our feet sunk deep into the snow to make huge holes! I'll have you know that it is so much easier making castles with snow and the wee man just loved it! It was not long before everyone was throwing snow balls at each other and of course we had to build a snow man. I guess the pictures give it away that we all forgot to bring our gloves but somehow we managed and the wee man was never going to admit that his hands were getting cold. We went to the play park for a bit which was covered in snow. We still managed to have a go on the slide and the swings. We all built up a huge appetite so went to a beautiful restaurant for our lunch where the wee man ordered his favourite - Spaghetti with parmeggiano.

San Giorgio
We awoke and quickly got excited when the wee man discovered we were heading to the mountains in search of snow. Yes it took a bit to convince him that he had to wear "tight pants" which are actually thermals but he quickly decided going to find snow was more important. Only about an hours drive away is San Giorgio where we planned to take a short walk to the Rifugio Malga Malera for lunch. Really only a half hour walk took us more like an hour as we had to take a lot of stops. The wee man's excitement was uncontainable! Really he has never seen so much snow before so it was pretty understandable. His smiles and laughter were pretty contagious. The addition of beautiful snowy white scenes made for a beautiful walk. We threw a lot of snow balls, rolled around in it as much as we could, had a few little tastes, and of course finally built a snowman...the wee man's first! Lunch was delightful and the wee man obviously benefitted from the fresh air as well he ate his all up without a bit of complaint. Once finished he was rearing to go again and it was another exciting walk back down to the car. Once home nothing better than a nice hot bath to warm up cold toes.
