Blizzard 2011!!!

I remember as a kid loving a snow day! We did not get them very often, but the way things work in the south - it would not take much to cancel school. This storm brought a little more than enough to cancel school for a day - how about a week! I was suppose to fly out of town for a business trip but it was postponed and then cancelled. Here's a shot of our house after the 8" or so of snow accumulation.

The kids were all excited checking out all the white stuff.


Phoenix and Zona out to play!!!

A little ride in the Choo Choo to see the horses and feed them some snacks.

Just in case you were wondering, they are wearing "101 Dalmatian" outfits as an additional layer. They are not fully equipped with winter gear - maybe next year (of course that means it won't snow next year).

Time to Play!!! Charlotte as usual did not want to walk on the snow. The crunch from the layer of ice must have scared her - so she rode on the sled. Brought back memories of her not wanting to walk on sand!!!

Evan refused to wear his gloves. What happens? He wants to touch it, gets his hands wet and cold, and then decides he is done with the snow.

He was much happier standing halfway in the garage.
Ellie is a just plan fearless. She practically beat the door down trying to get out of the house. She was mildly disappointed because the snow was not fluffy like before. She played hard until she got cold.
Please do not forward this photo to PETA. It is all faux fur! But she is stylish. I can see it in department stores now "Fur on Fur" the new fad.
As you all know the best part of going out and playing in the snow is that warm bath at the end of the day. We treated them to the big bath in our room and they loved it!

Washed up and now watching one of their movies they got for Christmas. Nice ending to a great day.
