Dover Snow Day

Last weekend Kyle wanted to get the family together to go up the Lake Merwin for the day because there was so much snow. During the week there was between 2-3 ft., but some of it melted, so there was only about a foot left by the time we got up there. Only having a foot of snow didn't bother us at all though. There was so much snow and it was untouched! It was the perfect snow for making a snowman and throwing snowballs. I started helping Celeste make a snowman, and then Aunt Roy'l helped finish it. It was hard to find rocks and stuff for the face, but we did what we could. Eddie loved making snow balls and tossing them for Grim. Grim would get so confused and keep looking around for his ball then run back to Eddie to try again. That was really funny to watch.

After lunch of chili and corn bread, we decided to go up the road to a hill to do some sledding/tubing. All of the side streets weren't plowed, so it was actually a road that we were sledding down, but you can't tell from the pictures. Gordon, Eddie, and Javin were the most fun to watch. They loved going down that hill over and over. Eddie got really fast and I thought we might lose him in the street a couple of times because he could really pick up speed. The dogs loved running up the hill with people on the sleds and then run down the hill with whoever was coming down. We got a little worried every once in a while because we thought for sure that they were going to get plowed by someone coming down the hill!

Over all it was a fabulous last day of snow before the spring and summer. I wish we got more snow in town during the winter, but at least we had access to snow if we couldn't have it at home!
