Snow Days: Day 2

Day 2 of being "snowed in" was just as exciting as the first.  It was also the last.   Unfortunately, the road crews got all the major roads cleared on day 2.  Day 3 would have to be a work day again.

At the end of the first day of snow, we had a light freezing rain.  This put a nice crust of ice on the world.  It also created some great sledding conditions.  So we walked over to the park and found the biggest steepest hill.  Yeah, there were obstacles like man hole covers and fencing.  Yeah, there were also hidden obstacles on that hill that were hidden by the snow.  Stuff like piles of granite rocks.  But this was a huge hill that was demanding to be sledded. Cari sent the kids first to find a clear path before taking her turn.

 Walking back from the park made us all tired and cranky.  I was given the task of taking the "shortcut" to the grocery store and picking up some hamburger buns for dinner.  Then it turned out we didn't even need them for dinner.  I think I was just given the task of "the women are going to talk about you, go that way".

 One of the girls made Brenna a snow pig.  Called Mr. Piggy.  She held him as she was pulled along the snowy ground.  She even gave Mr. Piggy a kiss.  A kiss goodbye it seemed.  Immediately after kissing him, she tossed him into the snow where he was promptly run over by the sled. . . and she smiled.

This last picture is another friend that we met at the park.  Even the adults had a great time at the park.
