Let it snow!!!!!


We just love the snow! It snowed...and blew all day long yesterday. Some places the drifts are more than 4 feet high! The kids played and sledded for hours. Today all of our church activities were cancelled due to snow and temperatures so they are at it again today. Their adventures didn't last quite as long today with 13 degree weather with a brisk wind...hmmm, wonder what the "feels like" temperature really is. They are currently inside warming up with hot chocolate and I'm sure they'll be out soon at it again. I'm thinking a fun bonfire would be perfect!!! We'll see if we can talk dad into it.



The kids are already hoping for a delay or cancellation of school tomorrow! :)
Plans are already being made!


Some of the drifts are so deep, Abree has to have help from Ash and Gunnar to get through them. I asked them not to leave her alone today...we might lose her in a drift!



They are having to work to get to the play area today! The kids thought it would be a great idea to dig a tunnel to the swing set. Mom had to break their hearts and inform them that it probably wasn't very safe!

Notice the rescue rig and the snow plow. Both have been busy all day long!!! This is at least the 3rd trip past our house today for the rescue unit. WSU's winter graduation was yesterday...way too many people going way too fast on Highway 26!

WOW! You have a lot of snow. We only got a skiff compared to you guys. The boys we be so excited if we would get some real snow, but with some warmer temps. Have a great week and fun times in the snow!

I'm jealous! It looks so beautiful at your house! We didn't get much. Our house (a whole three miles out) got more than town but nothing like you guys. There is nothing better than good times in the snow followed by hot chocolate in a warm home. Your kiddos looked like they were having a blast. I'm glad Abree didn't get lost in the drifts. Happy wintry days!
