Calvin's Grandpa Ruhl has been dying to get him in the snow ever since he saw a video of him squealing with delight during his first sledding experience in New York last month. As soon as we made it to Minnesota and recovered from our crazy blizzard adventure we headed out to pick up the perfect Christmas sled for Cal. And what day in the cold would be complete without a new winter coat and snow pants? Needless to say, by the time we bundled him up appropriately for the sub zero temperatures and got him into his sled he could no longer move. Hilarious for us, for him- not so much.
And while we all had huge expectations for our day outside, Cal had a different plan. The kid would not crack a smile to save his life. He wasn't upset, there were no tears, just a frozen wide-eyed little face taking it all in.
As for Grandpa, he was perfectly happy pulling his grandson around the backyard, so proud to introduce Cal to his first Minnesota winter.
Thankfully, we brought Cal's new sled home with us and Chicago took the hint. The snow is falling as we speak and someone has a BIRTHDAY tomorrow.. I'm thinking we will celebrate outside in the sled!
love it! he's such a winter lover, no matter what his face may reveal. he's just taking all the winder wonderland in! :)
