Snow Day!

We had an unexpected snow day here in the south! Boy was it freezing for our warm blood. :) So after some snow, we had lots of freezing rain that kind of just turned everything to ice. That does not mean the Clarkes can't have fun!

 Travis went into work (although his techs weren't there, he did some catch up work) so Jocelyn and her husband Garret came with Laurel to sled with us. And what's sledding with out a car hood?

Kaylin adores Laurel (they call her Yo-Yo) We walked over to the boat ramp and they would plow down that hill, usually falling off the siding before they got to the bottom.

Mika loved the snow. She is usually so cautious and worried. But today she was on a sled or the car hood the whole time. She was soaked through her 3 layers, poor thing. 

Ethan was a little dare-devil. He tried his bike...

And the wakeskate....

 But his favorite was at the boat ramp. He'd fly down that hill. This sled is so cool because it has brakes, which is very useful since at the end of the hill is...the lake!

This is my favorite pic of the kids on the car hood. This thing would fly down the snow/ice. Pure Joy.

Travis finally joined us at 3pm. He couldn't even go inside to eat or change, the kids bombarded him with stories and asking him to come down the hood with them. Of course he invented a new game of spinning...

Here is Kaylin spinning. She definitely went the fastest.

I didn't get many pics of Travis with the kids, we mostly used the video camera. So here's one of him snuggling with the kids after a long cold day out in the snow. 

I joined in the coziness too. 

We just found out school is closed again tomorrow. I'm a little worried since all the roads are about 2 inches of solid ice...we'll be stuck here for sure. Hopefully Travis can be stuck with us! :) It'd be nice if we could get a little more snow....
