Snow Day!

The highlight of this last week was snow. Being Arizona natives, none of us have ever experienced a snow day, so when the snow started falling hard and fast we were all excited about the possibility. It had snowed off and on Sunday and Monday, but by early Tuesday it started sticking. Since we are at the top of a hill it was not really safe for us to go anywhere and while school was not canceled for Jeremy, it was not safe for him to go. In the end we decided to have our very first snow day.

We could not let our first snow day go by without some serious playing. We started out by sledding in our driveway.

The hill was not quite long enough though so we decided to bundle up and walk across the street to the park. We did some sledding at the park, but then discovered the real fun, snow covered slides. You would get going so fast and there really was no way to stop yourself so when you got to the end, you would shoot out and land in the snow a few feet out.

Merrick was not really a fan of the slide of death. His favorite part was building a Merrick-sized snowman. We decided to go for quality over quantity and Merrick really liked getting to help.

Merrick loved his snowman so much that he wanted to give it kisses.

But not so much that he did not want to knock it down, like at true boy.

Thanks to Mother Nature the Cliffords have officially had their first snow day!
