Winter Storm Pax - Wednesday, 2/12

We woke up the next morning and more snow was falling!  The kids were anxious to get outside to play so we were bundled up and out by 9a!  :-)

Yes, Henry is wearing chemistry goggles.  He was actually incredibly smart because the snow/sleet that was falling was coming down hard and really hurt our faces!  Everyone that passed by commented on his awesome goggles!  And the sword is to fend off snow monsters I suppose!  :-)


By that afternoon we had gotten 5-6 inches of snow and it was still coming down!


Trey had to go into work every day, of course, but we were lucky that he was able to safely get home early to play in the snow with us!  


In our neighborhood there is a major hill that was the sledding spot for all of the neighborhood kids (and adults too)! Unfortunately the snow was really powdery and not very slick so the sledding was not great at first.  Once some tracks were made the sledding got a lot better!  

Henry and Trey spent hours sledding outside with one of Henry's school friends and his dad!  :-)       


For some reason Charlotte was not a huge fan of sledding.  In some ways she is becoming less of a daredevil and much more cautious. She also really did not like the snow hitting her face. She was a trooper though and liked watching all over the other kids on the hill!  ;-)


She also did not mind getting rides on the sled from Daddy!  ;-)


"Okay, enough snow fun! Let's head in for some hot chocolate!"
