SNOW DAYS - Four in a row (and waiting)

On Monday I was wondering why we missed school - by 8 a.m. there wasn't anything on the roads, but the kids didn't care - they had a day off school. They were thrilled. Little did they know they would end up missing school three more days in a row (and maybe more). As predicted it snowed several inches Monday night. We made the most of ever moment. Early in the day we (Devon, Marissa, Jessica, Mommy, Robert, and friends Aaron, and Luc) played snow soccer. This was a blast. The ball would glide across the icy snow, but then it would also get stuck in our footprints and just stop dead. The game ended in a tie - 1-1 girls vs boys.

Later that day we walked over to the golf course hill and went sledding with friends. Sledding is always "so much fun" Everyone loves to slide down the hill as fast as they can.

Devon sledding with some new friends! Devon was so nice to help other kids
(especially the smaller ones by giving them a push)

Let's make a Lowe Chain! Robert, Marissa, Devon and Jessica ready to go!

Sledding evolved into surfing down the hill. What a blast!

The other side of snow days!

My River Birch tree has definitely had better days.

Poor trees!

If you can believe this the kids will be out of school four full days in a row due to snow and there is no idea when they will return. We've just had a severe winter storm come through delivering snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain and more snow. We are lucky that none of our trees split. Several trees in the neighborhood and area have split, and even taken down power lines.
