ICE STORM 2009

It all began with some snow and quickly turned into an amazing and interesting experience. On day 1, the boys went out to enjoy a snow day. Funnily enough Colin ended up pulling Dylan around on a sled.


Then more ice came. It made for a beautiful scene actually. Although it was like an ice skating rink all over the ground.


Once we realized this was not just a one or two day event, we buckled down and enjoyed some family time. Well, at least during daylight hours since we lost power. We played a couple of games of Cadoo...I think this pic of Colin "drawing" a clue for us is so cute.


So, one of the other things we did was to organize Pop's room a bit. We got rid of the old changing pad on the changing table. Now what could we possibly do with an old changing pad? I think Colin has an idea...


...he is such a boy!


Some places in Lexington had power so we at least got out for dinner. Here is a cool icicle we saw on the sign.


A picture of a tree in the backyard. Usually this tree stands tall above the roof of the house behind us. The weight of the ice pulled the branches down low.


Of course, with all this iciness, it was hard to resist the urge to go sledding. It was pretty fast sledding. Notice all the trees in the background are pulled over by the weight of the ice.


The only hard part was getting back up the hill. But Jonny, Dylan and Colin managed all right. They had fun!
