Snow Fun

(Warning-Picture heavy post!)


I love the look of new-fallen snow. This is the view out our dining room window on Saturday morning, looking at our pine trees.

We were way overdue for a big snow in south central PA. The last big snow we had was way back in 2003. I have to admit, I was so excited when they started hinting at the possibility of a big snow storm. I guess I get that from my mom. Most people hate the snow, but my mom just can't contain her excitement, even when we just get a few inches. For me, I was just looking forward to being snowed in with my family for the weekend. It forced us to stay home and not make any plans for the weekend, which is a rarity for us. It was truly wonderful, and what a relaxing weekend we had as a result! The icing on the cake was the second 20-incher on the way for Wednesday! I could hardly contain myself!! Thank goodness my dad dropped off a snow blower for us to use. I don't think I'd have been nearly as excited for this snow if we had to shovel 3 feet of it the old-fashioned way :)

Owen's swingset on Saturday morning - the snow is up to the bottoms of the swings!

We have no hills in our neighborhood, so this is the best sledding we've got!


Evan's first time out in the snow. He wasn't sure what to think.


Owen's swingset Wednesday morning - the swing seats are completely covered & the snow is halfway up the slide. Amazing!


This was taken from inside our garage. I think there is 2 1/2 feet of snow here ...


I bet if we still had the Civic, the snow would completely have covered it. The CR-V sticks out a little bit :)

My little snow buddy. It's hard to see, but his eyelashes are covered in snowflakes.
