Daddy/Daughter Date

Believe it or not things have really been warming up lately. We had a bunch of snow melt and it was even in the 40's! I was really starting to get excited and proud of myself because I thought we had survived winter. I even could be heard saying things like, "Well, that wasn't too bad." or "Guys, we did it! We survived Winter!" but alas, I was premature. Looks like winter, round 2 is starting. This morning the temp. was 5 (not too cold) but the windchill was -35!!! Yikes. While things were "warm" though, we took advantage to play outside well at least Daddy and Chloe did. I don't last very long "playing" in the snow.

First they wrote in the snow which was pretty exciting because she could see it from our window.



Then they made a fort in the backyard. Chloe started out strong and was having a grand ole time. I don't think she realized what all her dad had envisioned. Then we ran out of snow in the backyard and I was like, "Um, Greg how are we going to close this thing up?" then he pulled out the genius idea of the umbrella.

Normally when people have a snow fort in the backyard, it lasts for a few days and melts. This one is likely to be around until June. We'll be sure and report when it finally disappears. Good job Daddy!
