Snow Day!

We woke up this morning to a lot of snow! Katie was so excited when she woke up that she said, "Let's eat breakfast outside!" Luckily, Nancy talked her out of it.

We all put on our snow gear (except Rusty who was already dressed) and headed outside. At 10 a.m. the snow measured 7 inches deep on our walkway and it's still coming down hard. We're supposed to get another foot today. It's perfect snow too. Nice and fluffy without any ice.

Rusty jumped around in the snow and buried his head a few times. We walked down to a good sledding hill in our neighborhood. Katie sledded with with some of the neighborhood kids and Rusty played with the neighborhood dogs. The parents served as a ski lift to carry the kids back up the hill.

After a few runs down the hill, Katie said she was cold and wanted to go home to drink hot chocolate. We enthusiastically accomodated her request. After a break to dry off and rest, some of us (me and Katie and Rusty) are still resting while others (Nancy) went cross-country skiing around the neighborhood.

UPDATE: As of 5pm the official total is 14 inches and growing...

All the photos are here.

Here's a short video:













The easiest way to get Katie up the hill.
