Bus Stop

Here in eastern Iowa, we just survived our first major storm of the season. My kids had been anxiously awaiting a dumping of snow that would provide them endless hours of outdoor fun. The storm started Tuesday afternoon and continued on through Wednesday, and the plows were even called off the roads because conditions were just so bad. 12+ inches of snow made for a LOT of roads to clear, and we didn't see a plow until 6pm Wed night. Our street was paralyzed and no one could escape ;) which made for a fun day of just hanging out at home, because we physically couldn't GET anywhere.

Fast forward to Thursday morning...a balmy -25 degrees (with windchill) and a 2 hour delay for the start of school meant the kids were ready to go attack those snow piles. Beacuse the bus stop is right outside my door, this is what I saw this morning:

This makes me wish I were a kid again! 'King of the Mountain' was always fun after a big snow storm!

King (or Queen...) of the mountain! Such fun -- is there really anything better than a snow day??
