Winter Wonderland

So now backing up almost a month to Feb 11th, it was a thursday morning and everyone was up and ready for school when we looked outside and saw it was snowing! We were very surprised we were expecting snow but not until later that day and there was already about 2 inches on the ground so we turned on the t.v but school was still on. The kids were very disappointed! It continued to snow hard all day, school let out early so I left work early as well but my real concern was that we were leaving for California on saturday and I was worried about the back log of airport delays! By the time everything was said and done we recieved over 12 inches of snow which was an all time record for Fort Worth! It was fun to see that much snow, we couldn't stay out in it for too long because we don't exactly have snow clothes here in Texas so we would get cold and wet pretty quick! Don actually tried to go to work the next day but couldn't even get up the driveway, so he spent the day shoveling the driveway so we could get out the next day. We made it out to the airport with out any trouble and of course by the time we got home all the beautiful snow was gone :(

In the morning waiting for the bus that never came!

Trying to sled down the hill - too much soft snow

This was at about 5:30p.m it still continued to snow until 3 in the morning

Dad made a small snow hill to sled down
