Snow Days

Ever since Christmas, we have had an unusually snowy winter. But since this place is not accustomed to an abundance of snow, it takes days to clean up a moderate amount of snow. It is even worse when ice is involved. Thus, the kids have so far missed 7 days of school since the beginning of January. Unfortunately, the days will have to be made up, mostly at the end of the school year. It is starting to feel like summer might not ever come! The kids have enjoyed taking advantage of those days off and going out and playing in the snow. They have forgotten that it was the norm when we lived in Utah.


Daisy loves running around and eating the snow.

While in the midst of shoveling, the kids talked Mike into building them a snow cave.


Mike started running out of place to throw the snow, so he decided to just pile it in the middle of the driveway.


A few days after one of our storms, there were a couple of mornings when we had freezing fog. It looked really cool on the plants.

I discovered this picture on my camera when I was downloading all my pictures. I'm not sure what to say. I think that this is the result of too many days out of school.
