Snow Day!!

Last night, we got a call that school would be cancelled today because of the "impending" bad weather. A preemptive strike, I suppose. So, we woke up this morning (Adrian was off too because of the MLK 96) and immediately looked outside. Flurries were coming down slowly, but it was still too warm for them to stick. We didn't know how much we would get, or how long it would last, so Mason and Reagan went outside to try and catch a snowflake on their tongues!!

Around 10:00, the temperature started to drop and the snow came down with a fury!! We went to Chili's to eat lunch with our friends The Hoskins, and by the time we got back, there was snow everywhere.

We all had so much fun playing in the snow!! Mason and Reagan sledded down the hill (with their boogie boards!), made snow angels and then we headed down the street for a neighborhood snowball fight.

I know many of you reading this are from or have been stationed in places where they measure snow in feet not inches (I'm talking to you Crystal!!), but for us, this is some serious snow!! We probably got between 2-3 inches overall. I will forever remember this as The Blizzard of 09!!
