This is the snow fort or igloo. It took about 3 hours to build and we were all so tired that we took a big nap when we came in. We made it on Friday and part of it is still there the following Tuesday. Check out the video on my youtube channel, friendsmiling66

Big Snow

This is the first big snow that we have had since Zander was born. It snowed really hard yesterday. He played outside for a little while. This morning there was at leat 6 inches when we woke up. We ate breakfast and then got dressed and went outside to play. We went in search of the perfect hill and tried several but didn't find the right one. It was really hard to walk. There was so much snow that at times it came over my boots which were almost to my knee. At one point the snow pulled Zander's boot right off.
We went back to our yard and decided to build a snow fort. It was alot of fun. Pictures to come.

First Snow



It is hard to believe that Zander is 3 1/2 and this week was his first snow. It seems like when we were young, it snowed alot. I remember going out with Dad and using inner tubes to slide down our front yard. We would do it forever. Then there was the time that Jenn, Vicki, Tracy and I make a snow fort and stayed out all day playing. We were playing in the cow pasture. Would I let Zander play in the cow pasture? Hmmmmm. Times have changed.
When we went to bed, we were very excited because we knew it was supposed to snow during the night and then turn to sleet and freezing rain early in the morning. When I got up at 7:00, there was snow on the ground and it was starting to rain. I woke Zander ande got him dressed. We all went outside. He walked around in the snow and rode his arctic cat for a while. We didn't get to stay very long because it was raining and freezing. 3 days later it snowed again. This time he got to see it snowing and there was enough to make a snowman and do some sledding. We had a great time and Zander cried when it was time to come in. It was very cold as you can see from his cheeks. Maybe we will get some more before spring.
