Snow Day

We finally got some snow here in Williamsburg! On Thursday, we woke up to maybe an inch or an inch and a half of snow on the ground. The kids bundled up and headed outside before 8 am. Needless to say we forewent school for the day. We get maybe one decent snow a year, and this one was barely decent but we were excited for it anyway.

Ben and Rosie weren't thrilled to be outside the whole time so we came in and built a fort to play in.

Meanwhile, the girls (except for a short lunch break) stayed outside until 5:15 pm. They sure were tired and cold afterward. They definitely were fairly cranky the next day, too. Too much activity!

Ben and Rosie went back out for a little bit to build some castles.

And the girls had a snowball fight. It was a great day!

Then on Sunday it snowed again! We were supposed to get a bit more, but unfortunately it turned to rain, washed away a lot of the snow, and was kind of gross out in the afternoon. It didn't stop us from enjoying it while we could though. We headed over to Jamestown High School to go sledding on the big hill (which was a bit crowded so we moved over to the smaller hill so we wouldn't have to take turns). Eleanor ran into several of her neighborhood friends and had a blast sledding with them. Ben and Rosie both loved sledding!

From sledding, we headed over to outside church to listen to the sermon. Rosie and Jane spent a bunch of the time looking at their breaths. 

I am very glad we got some snow to play in again this year!
