Snow Day, December 2013

Porter enjoying the snow with the neighborhood kids.

Roc with a successful sledding run down one neighbor's driveway into another neighbor's yard.

One of the three snowmen built during the snow days.

Christmas lights also look better with snow.

Notice that Ryan's truck was the only vehicle that left the neighborhood during the week long snow party.

 

Finally an actual reason to cancel school!  Prior to this snow storm the school closed over every weather advisory even if the bad weather never arrived.  This time they cancel school for actual snow.  It feels good to feel justified for the kids missing school (now Stacie and Ryan went to LaGrande and Cove where in LaGrande you have to have enough snow to cave in part of the school's roof to get a snow day and in Cove where they didn't know that they could call a snow day).  The whole neighborhood had days off except Ryan who had an eight day stretch so while everyone was playing in the snow Ryan had to work.  But boy did the kids have fun sledding all day long!
