Snow Day

Since moving to AK, six years ago, I can't remember ever having a real snow day (where things are canceled or places are closed). Places around here just don't close when it snows. This makes since though, otherwise things would be closed or canceled for the whole winter. It was something I had to get use to. Waking up to a foot of new snow still knowing that everything keeps going as scheduled was something new to me.

This past week we have had a lot of new snow. On Sunday morning last week we woke up to about 6 inches of snow and so we bundled up Neal before church and let him go out and play in the snow for the fist time.


Tyler and him had a great time outside! It was a little deep for Neal to walk in so there were a few face plants and tumbles but he had fun the whole time. His cousins even cam outside later that night and they got to go sledding together in the driveway.




The rest of last week was filled with lots more snow. We got another 5 the next morning and still another few inches a few days later. Winter is definitely in full swing around here, but the new snow sure makes everything look beautiful. However, getting out of the house now takes us twice as long when you have to bundle up like this:
