And not just a little bit of snow, lots of snow! This is what we woke up to Monday morning, our back deck filled with snow. It ended up snowing about 5-6 inches and then Monday night, the ice came which has made things even worse and more dangerous. So, we have all been snowed in, literally, and even Mike has stayed and worked from home because you can't get out of the driveway.
We go outside Monday morning and enjoy the fresh powder but boy was it cold and wow, we don't have the right snow gear!
Ella actually had fun at first running around in it but then got cold very quickly.
Of course, she thought this was a much better way to travel in snow and I have to agree!
Everyone bundled up and ready to play on the snow day! Can you tell they are from NJ and they have the full snow suits and boots. If the weather keeps up like this, we may need to get Ella a snow suit.
Since no one can get out, we have been trading houses to play and eat and combining all the food we have. These two look so big eating at the big kids table.
Before the snow storm hit, we went to Monkey Joe's. It is one of those play areas where they have tons of inflatable slides and
bouncey areas. Ella, as usual was very hesitant at first but then loved going down the big slides with Mom and Dad and we
certainly got our workout climbing up each time! We will definitely be back soon.
Just in time for the snow, Ella got a special present from Grandma. She knitted her a new pink hat and it fits perfect and worked great in the snow. Thanks Grandma!
So, things definitely have not slowed down in 2011 as we are still busy and finding lots of fun new things to do and explore in the cold weather. Last week, we went with our neighbors to a new kids museum, Discovery Place Kids. It is geared for younger kids, under the age of 7 and it was so much fun. We were there for 3 hours and could have stayed all day. Ella loved exploring all the fun things! Future chef?
Do you think she might be a
gymnist??
Or maybe a pilot?
What about a baggage handler at the airport?? Well, as you can see, we all had fun and we actually got a year long membership so we will be back a lot this year. There were so many more things we didn't even get to explore this time.
Finally (if you are still reading), Mike gave me an amazing surprise this week! We leave Thursday, as in 2 days for
Puerto Rico for 4 days for my 30
th birthday. He has had it planned for awhile and did such a great job keeping it a surprise. We are hopefully, weather cooperating, will leave Thursday morning out of Atlanta.
DeeDee and Papa will be babysitting Ella and Dakota while we are away. I can't wait, the weather looks warm and after all this snow and ice, that sounds great!
