We had an awesome snowstorm today . . . 19 inches of new snow in less than 24 hours! It made for an adventurous day. Ben’s bus couldn’t make it up our street this morning, so the kids all ran down to the bottom of the hill to get on. His bus driver had to call a city snowplow to come and drive in front of him to make it to the school. I guess that was enough fun for one day, because the busses wouldn’t bring the kids home. They had to wait in the gym for their parents to pick them up. Luckily, a neighbor with four-wheel drive volunteered to get Ben since our wimpy van wouldn’t have made it out of the driveway.
Once everyone was home safely and the shoveling was done, the snow became much more fun. Nate turned our massive snow pile into a mini luge run. It quickly became the most popular attraction in the neighborhood. The kids loved taking turns going down. They stayed out and played until their snow clothes were soaked through and their cheeks and hands were freezing cold. It was Abby's naptime, so she missed out on all the fun.

The swingset was a good yardstick to measure our snow totals.
Emily thought it was pretty funny to sink waist-deep into the snow.
Ben on his first luge run. (Don't be deceived. Nate was on the second step of the ladder he had set up for the kids to climb the hill. We didn't really have a lame, waist-high sledding hill.)
Elise taking her turn. She was already "freezing" at this point and didn't last long.
