Snow Day

Well, it's wintertime in South Dakota, which means SNOW.  And we got lots of it yesterday.  The good news is that school and the legislature were closed today so we enjoyed an extra day of Daddy being home this weekend and we definitely enjoyed another day of hanging out at home today!  The sun came out this afternoon and we took advantage of the chance to go play outside and had a ball!

Rick (our contractor) helped clear snow from our driveway and made an awesome "mountain" for us to climb!

Kennedy made snow angels all over the yard....

 Reagan realized she had a snowsuit for her American Girl doll and so "Bitty" was able to join us for all the fun....

Slide still works!

Kennedy was determined to clear off the snow and get back to her favorite activity of swinging....

 It took a bit of work (not to clean off the swing itself but to clear a path below it so the swing could actually move back and forth), but they found success!  And, no, Kennedy did not fall off the swing in the background of this picture.  She was doing a forward facing snow angel so that she could eat snow!

It's still early enough into winter and snow that we aren't sick of it yet, but we sure hope the groundhog's prediction is true because we want to spend more time playing outside without the 20 minute warm up of getting into all that snowgear!!!!
