Winter is Here

Brian started his first tech of 2013 this weekend, so it is just me and the kids.  We were supposed to drive up to Grandma Kathy's and Grandpa Mike's, but we woke up to this:

 

 

That is the neighbors house across the way and you can't tell, but it is snowing pretty hard.  We tried to head out, because I was thinking that the main roads and expressways would be cleared, but when trying to get to the gas station and going much slower than that 55 mile an hour speed limit, I really could not see, so after I slid around a corner or two we turned around and came home.  The kids lamented that I broke my promise to them, but all in all they did okay.  I told them we would try again soon.

 

After quiet time we headed to the sled hill (it was still snowing at 4 pm):

Mackenzie was kind enough to drag Isaac's sled for him.

Sunil brought Manasvi over to go sledding with us.

Mom even got in on the fun.

 

 

We got Happy Meals after sledding and the kids watched the movie Mackenzie had picked out for the car ride.  So they still had a couple hours of TV watching, but rounded it out with plenty of hill climbing.

 



The last time I looked out the window there was still some snow coming down, but very lightly.  I think winter is finally here.
