When the Husband is away....... The snow falls

It's like clockwork...... When John takes off for his spring break trip to Idaho with UVM students, the snow starts falling in Vermont.  We got 16 inches in the mountains in the three days before he left.  Then we got 11 inches of snow over the weekend and then 52 inches over the next four days!  Aside from the joy of getting all this snow to ski upon, there is a lot of stress associated with the snow blowing, moving of the car around, and everything else that comes along with being a single mom who loves to ski.  

Fortunately, this kid is a super snow helper.  He even helps me find lost beer when it gets buried by a "roof-alanch".

 And these two are pretty darn good at keeping themselves entertained while I am out snowblowing, moving the car, and snow blowing some more (before finally calling in the plow for mercy).

These two are awesome ski buddies.  They love snow days and they really do like to get after it.  But with that much snow, it's hard for little people.  Falling in such deep stuff is tough to get out of for an adult, let alone a 4 foot tall pip squeek.

But with so much soft snow, it makes for some really fun launches. It is so fun to watch these guys go for it!
