Snow Days 2009


We've gotten around 9 inches of snow since yesterday, and for the first time since we've been in Indiana, IU actually closed campus because of the snow! That meant Chris could stay home today, (Anderson University also closed) and we were able to get out and play in the snow. Aunt Julie, our friendly snow expert, came over to show us how to properly build a snowman. Unfortunately, the snow is too fluffy to pack but maybe we'll get a chance tomorrow. Aunt Julie grew up in Michigan where snow like this is a regular part of life, so she came over prepared to pull the girls in a new sled and to show us how to really play in the snow. We also had fun going down the slide on the playset and slightly less fun making snow angels. Take a look.

Charlotte, trying to stay upright. She actually enjoyed falling over face first in the snow.

Sliding fun!

I didn't catch her making the snow angel but you can see she did a pretty good job if you look closely.

She had less fun when I asked her to do it again for a photo op. By this time there was snow in her pants.
