Snow Day!


We recently came back from a fun weekend in the snow. We stayed two nights this time and were really glad that we did. We booked the cabin a couple of months in advance and it was in the middle of a heat wave, I was worried that there wouldn't be any snow left by the time we got there. Worry not though, by the time the date arrived we were expecting record cold temperatures and a big snowstorm coming that night. We got up there and settled in and then the snow started. Overnight, we got about a foot of snow... that's right, 12 inches of snow in one night! We woke up to a winter wonderland and a couple of buried cars.



That's a foot of snow on that railing!



Hey, where'd the car go!

It snowed pretty heavily for most of the next day as well.  Bodhi helped me shovel a path across the patio and then we all built a snow fort and had snowball fights!





After another night at the cabin we packed up our things and headed back toward town, stopping for a while to do a little sledding.


Wheeeeee!

It was a great trip, and it was extra fun to be up there while the snow was actually falling. All the kids had a great time too, though, I think their favorite thing to do with the snow was eating it.


Om, nom, nom, nom!
