"The Blizzard of 2010"

To hear the news anchors talk, we have just gone through an apocalyptic event the likes of which the east coast has never seen. To those of us from the Rockies it was just another snow storm. Either way, we are enjoying about a foot of the white stuff and have made the most of it. The kids, along with Jared and Kelli Manwaring, got out yesterday and made a fort with tunnels, then decorated them with colored water (we decided that blue would look better than the yellow they wanted).

Overnight we got another inch and decided it was time for a snowman. Gretchen suggested a snow-woman, so we went in that direction. Just a few hours of work and some help from our neighbor Grace, and we had an 8' Valentine themed monstrosity gracing our front yard.

And Gretchen is still eating snow.

Ridiculously fun family. Ridiculously tall snow woman. Ridiculously beautiful Micki in the snow!

thanks for the new ideas. We are always looking for more things to do with the snow. Have you made snow creme yet? Gretchen may like a little flavor added to her snow! its been several years since a good snow fall for us and we've been eating it up.

Great work guys! The snowwoman is fabulous and the snow tunnel was awesone. We didn't get enough for either of those.
