Snow Joke

On Monday evening we had a blizzard come through Denver. The ran fell thick and fast until around 7pm and then the snow started- and went on heavily through the night and until lunchtime tuesday.

We woke up super excited on tuesday morning and had a text from Ethan school to say the school was closed for the day.... SNOW DAY whooohooo!

We spent the morning while it was still snowing wrapped up warm indoor in Pjs and slippers and as the snow slowed we ran upstairs to get dressed. Ski gear on, dogs in tow and Ethan on his sled and we set off to the local park for some fun. Ethan giggled and smiled as I towed him along, it started so well, then Linx started tangling me up- Hoax tangled Linx and it all got a bit crazy! Anyway we made it to the park and I let the woofs run free whilst Ethan tried sledding. The first attempt was on freak snow so it didn't really work. We stomped him a downhill path and he finally got a good trck to sled down- it wasn't long or a big hill but he had a wonderful time anyway. The dogs were manic- jumping through the snow and eating big mouthfuls of the white stuff. We stayed for a while and when we got cold and tired we all headed home for hot chocolate and cookies.

Later that day we had snowball fights in the garden- of course the dogs had to join in too which was all great fun!

Nic spent half the day shoveling snow off the driveway and paths and working from home... not quite as much fun for him ;)

We had a lovely day and its stunningly pretty here in the snow, the roads get cleared very quickly and very professionally so we managed to get through to Ethans Taekwondo in the evening followed by the yummiest Pho dinner at a restaurant literally around the corner from us.

Today, the snow is still sitting quite thickly on spots but is starting to melt a bit and the roads are more or less clear completely.

We LOVE the snow- roll on more snow days please!!!
