Holy Snow, 2011 Blizzard...


It was a very bad snow storm.
It takes a lot for Chicago to come to a complete stand still.
This was the storm that made that happen.
The calm before the panic.
Annabelle had 2 friends over for a sleepover.




Later that night...
The dogs couldn't get out to go to do their business...


It was nearly 3 and a half feet deep.
Jack loved being out side the next morning.

he needed his glove to be tight!

Lots of shoveling to be done while dad was busy snow plowing.

Annabelle and her friends decided to build a snow fort.

Big snow ball.

The snow was taller than Jack.

So tall that Annabelle had an easy slam dunk!


Winter wonderland.

Jack climbing a snow mountain.

Digging!


Hard at work, trying to make an igloo!



After an hour, Jack had had enough!
He was done...

The walk way I shoveled for 3 hours to make a path for the dogs.

It was hard work, my back is killing me now!

Igloo number one!

A great accomplishment,
We already had bigger and better plans for #2!

Igloo #2.
We are very proud.
now maybe you understand why my back aches!



We had so much fun playing in the snow, but I'm glad it's over!
Tired and ready for a greats night sleep...
