Snow Day #2 (February 12)

Day 2 of The Most Amazing Snow In Texas...

Corey woke early and took this photo of the trees in the front. It had snowed most of the day before and into the night.

On Day 2, we were all able to play in the snow and were smart enough to get the ski clothes out of the attic. First activity on the agenda: make a snowman.

Cooper and our neighbor Kenny had fun playing in the snow together.

The woods near our house were absolutely beautiful when they were covered in snow. I can honestly say that I had not thought that they were pretty the entire time that we lived here, but snow has a way of making everything pretty.

We went for a hike into the snowy woods together. I love this photo of Corey!

When we got back home, the kids built another snow fort.

We found the sled, and they had fun pushing each other in the backyard on our very small hill.

That night as the sun was going down, we realized that we had not taken a photo of the snowman that Jack had built by himself in the backyard. He and I ran out - me in flip-flops, him in shorts and no shirt - to get a picture.
