The Blizzard of 2008

Last weekend we had a huge snowstorm that had all the newscasters reminiscing about the Blizzard of '78. That evokes some pretty strong memories for me, mostly giant mounds of snow bigger than me, and my dad chasing our storm windows all across the neighbors backyard. ;-) So when I looked out in the backyard and found 16 inches of snow on the deck and drifts of more than 26 inches, I knew the boys would have a good time.....


Kate was quite content inside in her nice new outfit, and wasn't sure why I was getting out snow gear for her....


The boys on the other hand couldn't wait to head out back with Mommy and show her their sledding hill skills!


Kate was not at all having a good time when I first took her out in the snow.


But she "warmed up" to the snow, especially one she had her mommy.


After a while on the sledding hill, the boys had fun wading back through hip deep snow drifts.
