The Winter Storm of 2014

The winter storm is nearly a blizzard outside with the blowing wind, deep snow drifts, and below freezing temperature!  The weatherman was correct again this year.  Two for two on predicting winter storms.

Bill and Nolan were the only two brave enough to venture outside to find the true depths of the snow.  Also, Bill needed to clear the driveway to go to the store.  Nolan only lasted a few minutes outside and said he was cold.  The snow was blowing so much it was hard to have fun in the snow anyways.

Bill took Nolan into the backyard to see how deep the snow was.  Nolan thought it was neat to have the snow up to his waist!  Bill fell back in the snow to make a snow angel and Nolan wanted to do the same.  Except Nolan didn't turn around and landed face forward in the snow!

Carter and I stayed safe and warm inside the house.  I did open the patio door so I could take pictures of Bill and Nolan.  Carter thought the snow was silly!!  He kept going "ooohhhh  ooohhh"

Our friend text us the recipe for snow ice cream, so Bill made some this afternoon.  The ice cream is super easy to make!  All it takes is 4 cups of clean snow, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla!  Carter and Bill loved the ice cream, but Nolan was satisfied with eating plain snow!  Bill loves home-made ice cream, so this was right up his alley!  

Happy 2014!!!
