Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Yesterday we got some snow which - from what I hear - is rare around here. We had a lot of fun in it. This is the sign coming on to base early afternoon. It snowed more later that evening.

Our house and yard was covered in snow when we came home.

Karah (on the left) & Vincent made snow angels first thing

(it wasn't a little powdery)
Karah taking her turn trying to get me with a snowball

While inside warming up, the kids & Penny look across the street at the ensuing snowball fight.

Penny loved the snow and kept wanting us to throw snowballs so she could catch/fetch/eat them.

I've been hit!

What else was I to do but get him back? ;-)

We ended up on the ground and somehow got all tangled up with Penny's leash.

Today the snow started melting making it stick together better so the kids took advantage of it and decided to make a snowman. Here they are getting a good base.

Lift with your knees, not your back.

(Actually, I had to help them lift this one because they couldn't get it up themselves)
Here's the head

Vincent adding a personal touch - he couldn't have a bald snowman :-) Karah adding her personal touch - didn't want it to have cold hands :D
Voila! Snowman complete!

And in case you're wondering, we used a baby carrot for the nose, and some Rubik's cube pieces for the eyes and buttons.
