Snow Day

School was canceled. They say it's because of snow... they're even calling it a Snow Day. We did see snowflakes the night before, and they were big and beautiful, so, there you go. Apparently that's enough to call the whole thing off.

I remember being amused at the snow days in North Carolina when you could still see the grass poking through the snow. But this? This was even better because you can't even see any snow. Unless you squint and look hard at the tops of the little mountains.

Don't get me wrong... we aren't complaining. We're cheering. Only, also a bit confused.

We made the most of it... threw the bikes and the boys in the back of the mini-van (side note: mini-vans are so amazing) and drove five minutes up the mountain to unleash them all.

The older boys were so good to Timothy. This is the first time we've taken him up there since he could ride a two-wheeler, and he had a few, what he would call, epic falls. You can see Miles cheering Timothy on in the foreground of this next picture.

Miles and Timothy have a rather tumultuous relationship, so I'm hanging onto this picture for dear life to prove that they weren't always at each other's throats.

Carson was fun to watch. That kid is growing up - he looked like a teenager out there attacking the jumps and using his strength to catch as much air as possible.

And, once we returned home, this also happened.

I'm really not sure you'd see too many kids jumping into pools during snow days. And, honestly, this kid didn't really want to. But he had wanted to see if he could launch something all the way over the pool (he couldn't) and promised that if it didn't make it, he'd jump in to get it out (he did). It was cold, though, and he didn't stay in for more than three seconds.

Happy snow day!
