SNOW

The weathermen got it right this time!  We woke to 7" of snow.  After a lazy morning, we got dressed for the occasion and headed outside for some fun!
***WARNING - lots of pictures to follow!***
WOW!
  Picture Perfect!

 Reagan's mission today was to hit me with the biggest snowballs possible!

We had a great time playing in the snow.  Thankfully, it was already beginning to melt at the end of our playtime!  That's my kind of snow!

White Stuff

School was closed today in anticipation of snow that was predicted to fall.  Well, about 3:30pm, the white stuff began to fall.
let it snow!
 they hadn't seen snow in so long, they weren't sure what to do!
 oh, yeah! Catch it on their tongues!
 view from the back deck
 by 7pm, we had a pretty good covering
 I measured again right before bedtime - almost 3 inches
We'll see what tomorrow holds!

Ice Princess

The Girl Scouts held their annual ice skating outing today at a local ice rink.  You may remember Reagan and I skated for the first time ever last year.  We did much better this year, but we still need lots of practice!

getting better as the day goes on
much improved
hopefully, it won't be another year before we do this again!  Reagan says she wants to take lessons so she can go to the Olympics like Dorothy Hamill!
