Day 3 of the storm meant that it was done and our power was on for good. The sky was clear, the sun was warm and the snow was melting like crazy. We were even able to get out of our driveway - I went and got Culvers for dinner. That morning Terry went to work making the kids a snow fort off the back deck.
He made them a couple little benches and they watched him dig out tunnels.
He's under the snow!
It was strange how all the grass was green and the leaves were still on the trees, having barely even begun to change color.
Snow fort. Samuel was a grump. Noah and Evie had a great time.
Next they all moved out front where there was another huge 5 foot drift from digging out the cars. They made it into a sort of slide hill with their butts. Later they went and got the sleds to slide down into the freely flowing gutter. They were soaked!
Even grumpy Samuel started to enjoy himself.
Noah begins sliding...
...and ends. Ker-plunk.
Weeeeeee!
Daddy puts his feet up on the snow for a well earned break. Notice the trampoline weighed down to the ground with the weight of the snow.
Then he was back at it again. It was surprising they could even swing at all since the snow was so high. And notice the broken tree next to them. It had to be cut down! Terry was out there during the storm when it snapped and said it was quite loud.
