Had to post some pics from the "Blizzard of 2011" we ended up with 17-18" of snow. We mostly enjoyed the excitement around our house. The snow really started coming down around midday on Tuesday. Jeremy was able to get home by 1:00 when it really started picking up. We shoveled our driveway 5 times on Tuesday to try and keep up with all the snow. The snow finished by 10:00 that night. The most exciting part was that Jeremy didn't have to go to work on Wednesday, his birthday! So it felt like we had a "weekend" in the middle of the week. :)
Here are some progressive picks I took of the same shot of our backyard.
Grace LOVED the snow. She dives right in and gets covered.
Our attempt at a "snowman" the snow refused to pack.
Faith is not as big of fan. She preferred to help shovel the driveway and stay much drier. It doesn't take but about 10 minutes and she is suggesting hot chocolate!
On Thursday we were able to get out of our driveway and travel a few blocks to visit our friends the Whetstones. We attempted to take the kids (10 kids total) sledding. It didn't work the greatest. We had to carry the babies, and at one point I was carrying Titus & Logan. And the 3 year olds couldn't really walk in that deep of snow either. Titus actually got to go down the hill a few times. We couldn't decided if he like it or not. He didn't cry, but he was giggling either.
I know this is the kind of snow storm people will talk about remembering. Even though my kids won't be old enough to remember I wanted them to have some pictures to "remember" with.
