Snow Day!

It never ceases to amaze this Northerner how a few inches of snow can shut down an entire city for DAYS! We got roughly four inches of snow, which was lots of fun to play in, but the schools closed for TWO DAYS and had a delayed start on the third day!!! Pretty incredible...I know that we don't have the resources to handle snow down here, but God took care of most of it with the sun the very next day...I guess that everybody is just extra cautious. We all sure enjoyed ourselves! Fred wasn't able to play in the snow with us, but he had his own fun as he was driving to the airport this same morning to be able to fly out at noon...

Thanks Mrs. Anna for all your great advice on what to do with the new fallen snow!! The girls are always wanting to eat it! The girls made snow angels and a snow man (only about 12 inches tall!) which you can briefly see in this video.

We discovered that the "slope" in our backyard really is more than you think...it made a very nice private sledding hill! Jake and Olivia from next door were nice enough to share their sled with us and Olivia was able to help Morgan figure out how to master the "slippery"ness!
All the kids in the cul-de-sac came out to play and really enjoyed the snow together before it was time to go in for lunch and hot chocolates!!
