More Snow!

When we finally arrived at Sam's parents' house, we were not disappointed at all in the snow. Officially there was 7.8 inches but George, Sam's brother measured 10 inches and in some places it was 15 inches deep! That is more than any of us have seen without traveling to the mountains. The cousins had already been playing in the back yard for a day and they built a great fort complete with icicle spikes to keep out intruders. Even with all of that snow being a part of the fort, there was a ton of snow on the ground. We made snowballs and started our snowman. The snow was still a bit dry and not sticking well.


Caroline did better than yesterday but still was not a huge fan of the snow. It was so hard for her to walk and move.

They kept the front yard pretty so that we would have fresh snow to play in when we arrived. They did shovel the driveway and sidewalk and used that snow to make a tunnel.

I was surprised that even Caroline climbed through the tunnel.

Before we let them play in the front we got a photo of all the cousins - Katherine, Caroline, Nathan, Hannah, Ty and Emily. Zac (10 months) stayed inside.

Our kids did not last long outside. I was a little sad about this but they have no idea what a big deal this amount of snow is. They were cold and wanted to go inside to play instead.
