Roads are passable now in most places. We missed a whole week of school and had to deal with food shortages at stores and restaurants (and homes by the end of the week.) People slipping on the ice filled emergency rooms, because they just had to get out and get their mail after not having mail service for three days.
We are almost back to our normal routine, except today is a holiday for MLK. So please enjoy our photos: the suspension bridge marble roller coaster is a true work of engineering, patience, and it is pretty fun, too. Scott's work of engineering is his snow fort, where he led his poor little lamb daughters to the slaughter as they ducked inside and got pummeled by his snowballs. The finished fort was four feet tall, with one side at five feet tall, and it had a tunnel entrance. Scott spent hours on that thing! Apparently, Darby has not read "The Art of War" by Tzu. She could not fight back against Scott's attack. But we had a huge laugh at Scott's expense when he tried to incorporate the zip line into his attack - and broke it and fell on his back. It really was funny. But now we have to fix the thing...
Roxy found little hills for sledding, or I should say gliding. The inflatable snow mobile was just right for her. Even Scott and I took it out for a spin, and I slid into the bushes because I am a nerd that way.
Sometimes being cooped up together is a good thing. In this case, it was great. Can't wait for the next Snowpocalypse.
