The Weekend

Friday Jan 20th they actually closed both Tacoma Narrows bridges. There were large chunks of ice falling onto the road from above.

I cancelled another Party Lite gathering on Sat but the weather didn't give me much of a choice.

Yesterday we finally ventured back out of the house. We went to church. The parking lot was icy but perfectly fine otherwise.

Today, black ice claimed a life. The snow was fun, but not enjoying the ice at all. Praying for the family of this lady who died trying to help another from their crashed car.

Thursday

Jan 19th we woke up to the same snow. So we decided to... go for a walk...

It took us 45min to walk a 10min walk...

A lot of falling in the snow...

Saw some very nice Snowmen, woman & bear....

What walk doesn't have at least one fit thrown?
Snow Angel on Ice...

Wednesday

Jan 18th - Woke up to about 6" of snow at my sister's house. Had Rich come "rescue" my kids and myself so I could be stuck at home. When we got home I measured our snow :)
Our backyard.
Rich decided to clear the driveway. Which later turned into ice...
Our gates were all stuck closed.
You can barely see our steps.

Emy and Noah were pretty tired after playing at Auntie Stacey's house all morning and late last night.

Love the cracks on top of the snow. The top 1/4" layer was ice.
A late night play in the snow.
This was mid-snow-war. Oh yeah, he was at war. Punching and destroying the snow.
Caught with a huge chunk of snow/ice that she was sucking on.
Our yard is normally about 2" below the neighbors. We are now equal...

Tuesday

Unfortunately I didn't take my camera with me to my sister's house on Tuesday. But we did have fun sledding on a little hill by her new house.

Monday

Jan. 16th - Looks almost like the snow was already leaving us.
