Silly Monkey Stories: Snow Play Photos (Taken with the #SamsungNX300)

I know we usually share our Silly Monkey Stories on Tuesdays, but we're a little off schedule this week.  One of our beloved family pets fell ill and he passed away this morning.  Although the children were very sad this morning, they are apparently far more resilient than I am.  I really could use some cheering up and a few extra reasons to smile today.  That's why I thought it was the perfect time to share these photos my husband took last weekend.

The children lasted almost a whole hour outside playing in the snow until they decided it was too cold and wanted to come inside for hot cocoa.  Luckily, my husband was able to capture several fun moments with our new Samsung NX300 Smart Wifi Compact Camera.  He shot all these photos on auto and I'm quite impressed with how they turned out . . .

Silly Monkey Stories: 3 Monkeys, Some Snowballs, and a Slide

We recently had a major nor'easter, which led to two snow days off from school.    Although it was not the first snow we've had this winter, it was the first huge storm. The children were so excited to go out to play in it, but they had to wait until they got over the flu.  Luckily, there was plenty of white stuff left when they did.

The children really wanted to build a snowman, but the snow was just not sticky enough.  They were more than happy to settle for a snowball fight instead.  My husband took some great photos.  Here is just a small sampling . . .

Somehow my husband managed to fashion a slide down one of the snowbanks.  The children had a blast with that as well . . .

There were lots of great memories created that day . . .
