A thick blanket of overnight snow fell on Galway city, late December 2000.
Kyle's first time to witness snow. He was amazed!
Imelda, Kyle and Brian tried to build a snowman
Rachel shows Kyle how to shovel up the snow
Not a very clear picture but I recall Kyle simply falling backwards with the shovel still in his hand. It didn't hurt as he was so well padded and he couldn't stop laughing. He just lay there laughing until I picked him up.
Rachel and Kyle ambled in the snow
Brian snowballed Rachel
Rachel under snowball attack
Kyle clearly imitated his dad and made his very first snowball
Kyle was so well insulated that he was hot from running around
Brian pulled Kyle in the old (GTM) box that was in the Garage for years and years!
Kyle clearly loved this new game Daddy just invented for him!
Pit stop. Time to wet the whistle!
Let's play again Dad, Kyle demanded
Rachel and Imelda tried to pull Brian but the old (GTM) box couldn't take it and gave in!
The snow went through the holes in the box which didn't help with the aerodynamics
Jordan awakened from a cozy nap and visited us in the garden. It was his first time to see snow
Kyle looked very Christmassy under the bushes
Poor Jordie was teething
Time for a haircut. Kyle was not pleased and cried through the whole proceedings, calmy ignored by his parents
