My favorite thing to do on a snow day is to play with my dog! My dog and I like to go sledding and snowboarding. My dog has a little doggie snowboard and theres a hill that we go down. After that me and my dog go in and warm up near the fire place. The fire sure does warm us up! That’s my favorite thing to do on snow days.

My favorite thing to do on a snow day is go sledding with my friends. We usually meet up at the golf course or at Freer Field. We like to build ramps from the snow so our sleds go in the air a little. I also like going on really steep hills. Afterward, we go to McDonald’s for hot chocolate. It’s really fun!

One day I had a snow day and I looked out my window. I screamed it’s a snow day. I was so happy I noticed we have no school on snow days. I turned on the TV and made hot cocoa. An hour later I got ready to go outside. I put on a lot of clothes. I put on a heavy coat, scarf, gloves, boots and heavy pants. When I got outside I make a snow man. It took me a minute to think of a name for him. I named him Jeff. Next, I ate some snow, it tasted good. On my trapoline there is a lot of snow on it. I like to jump on it. The snow gos up and sprinkled down. After that I go inside and get warm and cozy. That is how I spend my snow days.

These are the things I do on a snow day. Every time it’s a snow day I drink hot cocoa as I build four snowmen. I name them Bob, Jeff, Frank and Jimmy. Snowball fights are the second best thing to do on a snow day. My brother and I run outside blasting snowballs. Now the moment everyone has been waiting for my favorite thing……SLEDDING! I love sledding something about the jumping and riding a sled just gets me going. Those are the things I would do.

If I got a snow day it would be my dream. First, Id stay in my pajamas til ten and sip hot cocoa and watch halmark movies. Next I’d put on my snow gear and go sledding. Then I’d beg my mom to go to Target so that I can buy gifts for family. Next I’d go to Starbucks and get a sandwich and something pepperminty. Then I watch the grinch. Finally ask my mom for a great snow day dinner. After dinner we’d make Christmas cookies. Last it would be night and have a snowball fight.

If I had a snow day I would have snowball fights. I would also have snow men. I also like to have hot coco with my family. I love to snow sled with my friend Mason. Me and my brother always make snow slides and bases. I would also sleep in and watch TV. I always want to ice skate. We make snow angels. Also we scrape off the deck. We also bring ice from the pond. Also we scoop up snow and put food die in it then we eat it after we are done making it. Then we spilt it into bowls after. That’s what I like to do on a snow day.
