The Next Day


The snowman in Brian and Susan's front yard today! (We ended up getting 8 inches of snow at Railroad Pass between Henderson and Boulder City. It took Brian and other people returning from work in Vegas an hour-and-a-half to two hours to get through the Pass last night!)


But the kids thought it was worth it! For the first time in 29 years, Clark County School District called a "snow day" and the kids got to stay home! It's not every day you get to hug a 7-1/2 foot snowman in Boulder City!


It took a lot of cooperative effort (mostly on Brian's part!) to build this guy.

Maddie helped too...


Zach the Handyman gathered snow all over the neighborhood so the kids could build this fort and castle in his yard down the street from Brian and Susan.


Maddie and her friend Savannah in front of the fort. Plans were being made for a huge snow fight when the fortifications were finished...


Our poor olive tree lost a good-sized branch to the snow load.


Maddie's snowman in our front yard may be small, but he has personality! What a great day!

It's so fun to see what you all did on your snow day. I can't believe the size of that snowman, although Maddie's is just as fabulous! we had a great day too & there's still snow around here 3 days later!
