Manning Park Snow Day

I have been pretty busy lately so have not spent as much time with the kids as I usually do. With that in mind I wanted to make sure we did something fun today and gave them the option of a couple things. The two choices were the Power Dam at Stave Falls out in Mission or playing in the snow at Manning Park. Proving once again that they are their fathers children they quickly said play in the snow.

Cohen had ice skating lessons at noon so we packed up some stuff and planned on heading out right after skating. The snow level was super low with things turning white before we reached the Hope Slide and after taking it easy we eventually made it to Manning Park. All the kids wanted to do was make snow angels and throw snowballs so we went up to Lighting Lake as it offered lots of space to screw around. After screwing around for a bit I pulled the kids along the trail for awhile but did not want to go too far in case they got cold.

After turning around and spending some time sledding down a little hill we packed up with the hopes of finding a hot chocolate. The restaurant was closed but we were able to find some chocolate milk in the lobby which was good enough. With the snow around we didn't both looking for any geocaches, maybe we will do that tomorrow. Pictures below as always...
