The Big Snow

We got a little bit of a snow storm on Friday and ended up with about 8 inches of new snow.  Scott got to stay home from work because of the snow.  Unfortunately he still had to take a co-worker to an early doctor appointment and had to go out in the bad weather.  He slid around a little bit, but luckily  he was ok.  Matthew was excited to have a snow day.  Here he is all dressed up to go out in the snow.

 A first tentative step out into the snow.

Matthew wanted to make snowballs and a snowman, but the snow was so dry that it wasn't holding together very well.  That's our Colorado snow.  Very dry and powdery.

Matthew made it look so fun that Anna wanted to join him.  She went out and fell in a drift and got stuck.  Luckily Matthew helped her out, so I didn't have to go out there. :)

They had lots of fun in the snow.
