the snowday we had in March

I am playing catch up here…

We got a lot of snow on March 25th.  Over a foot.ski chair

Which gave the kids the opportunity to try out Jonah’s invention– the Rocket Chair.  It’s made from a broken dining chair and a pair of old cross country skis.  Oh, and a rope to pull it back up the hill with, of course.

Now for photos.  I think I’m done with the words for this post.

We’ve had some balmy near 60 degree weather, so our little toddler has been trying out his new skills.

He didn’t want to have anything to do with me holding his hand or helping him up when he fell.  The shoes, the dry grass, the uneven ground, the rocks, they were all a whole new set of challenges to be conquered.

Guess who won…

Barry got a surprise day off of work today, so I spent some time inside working on this:

There’s at least 16 inches of snow out there and last time I checked it was still coming down.  We went straight from summer to winter here in Colorado.
