October Snow

You've all heard about it... Denver got hit with big snow. Well, here's what we endured...

When it was all done, we measured between 2 & 3 feet.

Michael was out every couple hours plowing the driveway so we could get out if/when we needed to.

But big snow means big fun! Maddox couldn't wait to get out and play... here he is all prepared (minus the coat) in his snow suit.

Do you think he was having fun?!


His hat (that Grammy made for him!) kept sliding down over his eyes, making it hard to see! But it did keep his little head warm!

Mason and Morgan had fun creating snow angels...

...and teaching Maddox how to do it as well!

Believe it or not, Morgan is in here somewhere. He stayed in there for a good long time, and he was amazed that he didn't get cold at all! That's what a good snow suit will do for you.

Maddox liked helping us shovel...

Even Abbey had a good time in the snow! She's hard to photograph because she's so fast, but if you can imagine, she hops around in the deep snow like a baby lamb! It's the cutest thing! Of course, she gets covered in snow "dingleberries", but she never seems to mind! She digs her face in the soft powder and gets a big mouthful of the yummy stuff... and she'll even chase after a snowball, searching frantically to find it so she can return it for another throw. City dog turned Mountain dog, that's for sure!

Alas, after all the fun, it is time to come in and warm up by the fire. Just look at those little rosy cheeks!

And when Mother Nature has given us all she has, we wake up to a glorious day of blue skies and sunshine! Notice Mason down in the corner (red coat).

We had a dazzling display of icicles!

And Maddox discovered what a true POPSICLE is! He enjoyed licking it...

Finally, here are some shots of the igloo that Mason and Morgan worked on! They piled up a huge mound of snow and then dug out a hollow space inside... it was big enough for Mason to get all the way in - almost! Of course, he couldn't turn around in there, but he sure had a good time making it!


So Happy Halloween to all of you... hopefully you won't have to traipse through snow to do your trick-or-treating like we will! But first, we've been invited to some good friends' house for a PIG ROAST this afternoon! (I bet they had to dig quite a bit to create the pit!)
