Our First Snowfall October 6th, 2011

We had no school October 6th and 7th. It was a long weekend for our kids and we woke up to it pretty cold but then it started to snow. It snowed all day long and night. We got at least 4 inches of snow. It was so crazy. The snow was really wet and heavy. Our trees do not hang that low on the trampoline but because everything is still green and the snow was so heavy as the day progressed the trees hung lower and lower. Trees all over the city were falling down. We were happy that we didn't lose any trees. I hate these fluke snowstorms. It of course will warm up again before it gets cold for a while. Kaelen was so excited for the snow. He got his winter boots out and put on his rain coat and ran around outside forever. He loved jumping on the trampoline. The snow was so heavy that every couple of steps Kaelen would have to stomp his feet to get the snow off them because the snow was making it hard to walk. Kaelen also tried to go out in just a pajama shirt, winter hat and my rain boots but he lasted 30 seconds before he came in. Averien loved seeing the snow too. She crawled right over to the sliding glass door and forever watched it fall. It was fun to see her reaction like that.
