Lots of Snow in the Spring!!!

We have recently been getting a ton of snow after almost nothing the entire winter. We are in desparate need of snow for the bad drought. So even though it is supposed to be Spring, we will take the snow. Last week we actually had a white out blizzard and the interstates were closed which is a big deal here.

After the blizzard (at least 12 inches)



Then after things calmed down a little, the boys went out to play. We have yet to get Luke updated snow gear so we put him in a tight snow suit and rain boots with layers of clothes underneath. We also duck taped the boots to his pants so they wouldn't stick in the snow. He looked hilarious. Luckily, my friend Kara lent us a nice Columbia snow suit for the rest of the week that actually fits. We have still yet to find him good now boots. They don't tend to sell those much in his size and in the Spring. Maybe next year!

It was hard for Luke to walk in the deep snow, so he resorted to crawling again.


Navigating the snow terrain.

Wipe out! Once you get a path going the sled flies down the hill. They kept running into the tree at the bottom. All I could do was laugh.


Getting ready to go down. Luke loved it. He would count with daddy (1, 2, 3) Weeeeee!
