Playing in the snow

The kids had a great time playing in the snow up in Indiana. The first day we got there it snowed, so the kids went out the next day. It was in the upper 20's. On Friday it iced and then got down to -3 on Sunday with a windchill of -26. The kids were not nearly as excited to stay out in it for long though Liza did discover that the sled goes a lot faster and further when the snow is coated with a thick layer of ice. :-)

Here are some pictures from their fun in the snow....





The ice made the trees look beautiful, but it took down lots of power lines including Liza's brothers' houses. They were out of power for 16 hours the first day and then off and on for the next couple of days. Thankfully, Liza's parent's house did not lose power so they had a place to come and warm up.

It was fun wasn't it? The ice melted off of the trees yesterday but our driveway is still a sheet of ice.

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. We've been a tad busy and I'm a notorious slacker! :-)
