We just had a crazy winter storm. We haven't had this much snow in years and years. We had a great snow storm when our Oregon cousins were here in December, but this was even more snow then that storm brought. Over the course of about 4 days we got 11 inches. It was so crazy. Not only did we have a crazy amount of snow, but the temperatures were insanely cold. At one point it was -22 outside. Because of the crazy cold temperatures we couldn't play in the snow for the first few days, but eventually it got up to 25 degrees and we went outside. We had ice and snow and it made for some great sledding fun.
All the kids enjoyed sledding and "snowboarding" on the sled. They were pretty good at it. I fell immediately and Dad did too.
Tucker was really good at standing on the sled and snowboarding like that down the driveway.
Benson enjoyed eating the snow.
Tanner also really enjoyed sledding down the driveway while standing. It was so fun to watch.
Even Benson gave it a try. He shocked us the most and was so brave. He cruised down the driveway and did a great job.
We also built a snow fort in the front yard. The snow wasn't great for packing. It wasn't nearly as good for packing as the snow we got in December. But we did manage to make this fort.
We also made ice marbles one night. We filled balloons with colored water and let them freeze overnight. This was pretty fun and a great way to take advantage of the below freezing temperatures.
Tucker and I worked the hardest on the snow fort and he was so proud of it. Tucker loves playing in the snow!
We played for days in the snow and its been so fun. We don't often get this much snow so we are trying to enjoy it.
