Trip to US Botanic Gardens

Today we checked out the US Botanic Gardens. The kids really loved
all the interesting plants. They had a big display of Orchids. Here's a link to the website. http://www.usbg.gov/

33 inches of snow

It stopped snowing Saturday around 4pm. But we got 33 inches of
snow. A new record for the area. We dug the cars out and our front
sidewalk. I mean I dug us out. Yeah I'm sore! Kids have loved digging
snow caves, climbing snow mountains and wading through the snow.

Just a little snow...

The forecast was correct, we got a ton of snow dumped on us last night. We woke up to more than 18 inches outside and it is still snowing.

When we moved here from Michigan we thought we had escaped this stuff! Here are some pictures of the neighborhood, our buried cars, and a snow tunnel Morgan and Ethan dug.

It Snowed!!

We got some serious snow Friday night and Saturday! We got between 18 inches and 2 feet. With all the wind the drifts are really high! Yeah those piles of snow are more than 6 feet. The one below with Drew on top, is probably 8 feet tall. The snow has stopped and the plows have cleared the roads.

Morgan's 5K

On Saturday Morgan, my Dad, and I ran the Reindeer Run in rain and snow. This was her third 5k race. She ran it in 33 minutes 1 second and she was number 256 out of 6,000 runners. Considering the cold wet weather and the slow start because of so many people at the start it was a great run. Thanks to Grandma Little for coming down and cheering us on in the run!

More Disney Pictures!!!
