52 Inches!


We finally won the snow fall lottery.  I mean, really won it this time.  Of course, John was away (in Idaho), but we managed to have an epic few days of fun in the snow.  It did involve a lot of snow blowing, waking up early to get "first tracks" (kind of) and lots of playing in the fluffiest snow I've ever experience in Vermont.


The weatherman said that there was only 5% moisture in this snow.  That is like Utah!  The kids did such a great job helping me keep the driveway cleared and plowing through the snow on their skis.  Of course, we had not just one snow day, but two.  So that meant extra Mom time!


While John was away, I offered to watch two different families kids for two different days.  On Saturday, we had Josie and her two year old sister, Eliza.  We decided to hit "Kids Day" at a local hotel/conference center:


But then I had to get out, so the big kids skied and I pulled Eliza in a Chariot, like old times.  It was so gorgeous out!



We did some sledding and snowman visiting at Casey's hill.  Eliza was pretty sure that this particular snowman was made just for her.


 On Sunday, we took the Mahoney gals with us to Smugg for a perfect bluebird day!




I did manage to get out for some backcountry skiing with Zephy.


And we celebrated Tommy's birthday:


We had so much to tell John about when he returned from Idaho (where the snow was plentiful, but temperatures were warm)
