A day (or at least a few hours) in the snow

We took a Mobility car to the Jura today. We took the expressway North toward Yverdon and then headed West towards Vallorbe (site of a caves and a stop on the TGV from Paris to Lausanne). There wasn't much snow there, so we headed Southwest and climbed over a pass into the Vallee de Joux. We stopped in a small town and let the kids play in the snow. Rowan really enjoyed picking up the snow and throwing it back on the ground. Niamh spent most of her time on all fours trying get some snow to pick up. She didn't enjoy it too much, so we only stayed there for about 30 minutes. We headed over another pass that is East of Morges, but West of Nyon. We found all sorts of great places to sled, ski (alpine) and snowshoe. We have the a care reserved for four Sundays in a row, so we'll be headed to the snow quite a bit. I think we'll go to the store and get sleds this week and might pick up snowshoes if we can figure out which ones to get and they aren't to expensive.
