Winter in Germany: Sledding + Snowmen

01/01/2015 by Jamie 15 Comments

Winter in Germany

These two boys had a Father/Son adventure in the snow today! Our first winter in Germany and we’ve already got tons of snow perfect for building snowmen and sledding.

Their first snowman was kinda small, but still worthy of a big hug.

If you were wondering – yes, that’s a cigar in the snowman’s mouth.

Snowman #2 was a success!

The sled we bought locally worked really well, but was lacking in the steering department. It was still nicer than any sled I had as a kid! I’m pretty sure we used to use those plastic discs and did more rolling/falling off than sledding…

It was a successful winter adventure in the snow. Mostly because there were no meltdowns from snow pants or gloves being uncomfortable, or the snow being too cold. And I got to curl up on the couch with my coffee and do some travel research for our next adventure!

My boys went on a Father/Son adventure to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve! After a 10 minute video of the history and rules, they were off on the tram for the 1/4 mile trip to the bay. The entrance fee is $7.50, but it’s FREE for Military, local residents, and children under 13 years old. Closed on Tuesdays.

This kid loves the beach.

It’s $2 for all day tram usage, worth it if you have a lot of stuff to haul the 1/4 mile from the parking lot.

Don’t forget your sunglasses or you will have to squint like this.

They saw “lots of fishies” and a sea turtle “THIS BIG!”
