Snowpocalypse 2012

Okay...as promised, here are the pictures of the fun times we had in the snow.  And what a snowstorm it was.  I would say we had about 7 inches of snow in our backyard...it was crazy!!  Hailey absolutely LOVED the snow and would have stayed out in it all day if we would have let her. But alas, Mommy and Daddy said that we didn't need her getting sick or getting frostbite or anything so we made her come in, lol.  During the snowstorm, we enjoyed many family walks through the neighborhood, walking to Camelot Elementary school for some snow play, as well as sledding at Camelot. A couple of snowmen were even created!  All in all it was a blast UNTIL.....the dreaded ice storm (see previous post), the lack of power for about 28 hours, and the fact that I will have to make up 3 snow days in June, as I was off all week. Oh well! Winter has definitely arrived, and it has made quite the statement.  I wonder what the rest of the Winter will bring...hmmm.....

Our first day of snow-not a lot yet. Walking to Camelot.

Sledding fun!

Wheeee!!!
Daddy got in on some sledding fun, too :-)

We made a snow chair


Day 2 of snow and we got a lot more!!
Our giant Frosty!

So pretty...but the snow wasn't done yet!

I'm still in shock that the snow came up almost to Hailey's knees!

snow angels!

Here is Hailey flinging herself into the snow...the take-off

...and the landing!

our baby frosty...this was when we didn't have quite as much snow and it wouldn't pack well



buried in the snow...poor thing, her glasses kept fogging up!

On the way to Camelot for some sledding fun!

we found a giant snowball there, too!
Glad we got some snow.  It sure was fun!  Next time we get snow I sure hope we don't lose power again.
