Julie got about 8-10 inches of snow by Friday morning in the storm that was expected to last through Saturday. We decided it would be fun to walk up to Starbucks with the boys and dogs for a treat. The snow was great! This time, it was a heavy snow that covered all the trees.

Hardly any cars were out, so we could easily walk on the roads, and we only had one major road to cross. The boys enjoyed being out in the snow. It was probably 0.5 miles to Starbucks (maybe a little more).


I liked this four-wheeler snow plow working on the bank parking lot. Miles posed on a bus parkbench - lots of snow. Everyone did great UNTIL the walk home. The boys were cold (we didn't have snow boots) and tired. The dogs got excited at other dogs. You can tell what a great time the boys had!

Julie ran the dogs back while I shuttled the boys toward Julie's house. By this time, they refused to walk the remaining 3 blocks. So I carried one up 20 feet, returned to carry the next one up 40 feet, then went back to get the first one. We slingshotted our way up the street until Julie came to help carry the boys home.

Julie got out in the afternoon to shovel her walk one more time!
