it's piled high!




We have a LOT of snow.  We got a good dump...
then came more
and more...
and more...
It got colder
and stuck around.
We still went outside
and pulled sleds, made snow angels, and enjoyed the snow...
 This dump truck does not have a chance against this pile...
 
 Even our snow family looks cold with their winter hats of fresh snow...
 
This is Mt Cheam...
and the road is at the bottom of the picture
The rest is a huge drift, as tall as my truck, thanks to the wind on this road...
Cool, eh?!

And today we went to Gramma's house.  She has a VERY VERY big snow pile.  
Chelsie joined 3 others and Auntie Shelly in having fun on this monster!
 Action shot of Leah - too bad it's not in focus!

 Auntie Shelly tried the garbage bag trick...but it didn't work so well for her :)
 
  These brave kids went up and down for quite awhile, despite the spitting ice rain and -6 temperatures...
 At the top of the pile...Hi Mom and Dad (in the sun!)
 Peekaboo
 Ready to sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!
 Hi Gramma feeding her bird friends!


And inside they came, more than an hour later...
Ivan had been building towers all day,
and Gramma took out a video for these 5.
First so serious, then giggly about 'stinky feet' :)
 Enjoy your day!  We're hoping the ice rain turns to regular rain, as it's a regular ice rink out there tonight!

I'm going to have to get these from you sometime. I am still kicking myself a bit for not getting any memory keeper shots of the snow storm that knocked 1 week out of the school year! You have some great shots, Leanne!
