The Great Snow

The Great Snow storm of 2014, we got about 10 inches of snow in one day.  We were blessed Swifty was home our power stayed on and we were warm.  Looking out the window at the Great Snow storm!  It was a pretty spectacular view when you lie under the window and looked up and out. 

Once we got ready Swifty, Kate, and Hyrum went out back and shoveled a widow neighbors drive.  When they were close to being done she came out and offered some Gumbo and told him next time he was welcome to use her snow blower.   So funny!

 

Next Cole got to help shovel our driveway as well as some of our front yard neighbors walks.  The kids played outside in the snow and had a blast the first day.  Then the Great Freeze hit. We had below zero temperatures it was FREEZING!!!  It was the coldest it had been in Indiana in 10 years.  My kids 2 week Christmas vacation turned into a 3 week vacation.  We had a blast!  our extra week off included but is not limited to. . . .
