sudden snow

Is there anything more magical than a snow day you didn’t expect? Bryan and I woke up at 6 yesterday to Will asking, Is school closed? No, we answered, why would school be closed?

Because the ground is all white outside, he said.

During our last snow/sleet/mud day we had talked about sledding on the golf course behind my parents’ house, but the lazies got us and we mostly sat by the fire. And then we heard some people had gone sledding there and that the police finally ran them off; and really, there is no better incentive than that, right? So yesterday, we were ready to try it out. (If you want to see these pictures bigger, just click on them)

We got over there right as the snow really started to fall…

Some of us were more into building than sledding…

Some of us were more into playing with our camera…

And the abandoned Radio Flyer.  The snow was too wet for the poor girl.

And more branches!  But, I finally pulled myself away from this fascinating scenery so that we could head over to the big hill.

I think I said I cannot believe this snow about 100 times.

And then, of course, it was time to hike back across the course for cookies and hot chocolate at Nana’s.

This was my favorite shot of the day. Like that snow, just pure magic. Even looking at it, I can hardly believe it really happened.

    LOVE this!  And LOVE the branch pictures.  Fabulous pics all the way around.  You really captured the magical aspect of the snow.  I did the exact same thing – “I cannot believe this snow!”  You should send some of those shots in to Channel 7 or something …
