Stuck in the snow

David and I couldn't resist playing in the snow either.

We decided to head down to the river and see what it looked like.

Unfortunately the golf cart path was frozen over and we slid off into the neighbors grass and got stuck.  Fortunately for David, he married a very strong and capable woman.  Together we pushed it back onto the road and made it home.  After spinning a few donuts on the ice, of course.

Snow!

It is so hard to believe that we actually have snow here.

It's not something I thought we'd ever see again after moving from Omaha.

Chloe and Benjamin thoroughly enjoyed watching it fall.

They are like two peas in a pod.

Eventually I did let them outside.

Benjamin really wanted to see the snowman.

And he wanted to touch snow.

And then throw it, of course.

So far I think this summer boy likes winter.

But Chloe just wanted to go back inside.

Snow day!

I can't believe I'm saying this.

But it SNOWED here.

Way down in the deep, DEEP South - right by Mobile Bay.  It SNOWED.

And Grace couldn't be more excited.

I think it was Faith's first time to enjoy the snow.

And enjoy the snow we did.  We had snowball fights.

We rolled around in the snow.

And made snow angels.

Lots of snow angels.

We even made a teeny little snowman.

Then we came inside and warmed up with hot chocolate.

And fishy cracker smores. 

Train ride

Today we went to Wales West for a birthday party.

And rode the trains.

What an awesome afternoon.

Its cold outside!

It was quite cold today, so Grace bundled up for school.  She wants snow by the way.

Doesn't she look so cute ready for winter?

She made her own little bed on the floor

Apparently Faith wanted a nap today.

So she pulled the "little pillow" off our bed.

Along with our blanket and make her own little bed on the floor and went right to sleep.

Target practice

Now that the weather is warming up, we've been getting ready for Spring and Summer.

We start with target practice!

Gotta get ready for those nasty water moccasins, y'know.
