Snow!

On a Saturday at the end of January we finally got snow – a whole lot of it. Max had a birthday party that got moved from a gym (everything was closed) to a neighbor’s house. It took a long time to walk those 3 blocks.

All day Saturday Julie wanted to play in the snow, but it didn’t stop snowing until Sunday. They were so excited to help shovel (if only they were better at it).

Julie has been wanting to build a snowman all winter. It was too cold in Utah and our previous snow had melted right away. The snow was a little powdery so we dug a small alien snowman with one eye out of the corner of our snow-covered back lawn.

She didn’t want to stop playing, even when it got dark. We drew lots of pictures in the snow including a night sky.

Walks to school the next few days took a long time because the kids kept playing with the snow.
