A Snowy Day

Last night in Rexburg it snowed a foot of snow last night (facts according to Mike). We have been waiting for snow like this for a whole year! The boys and Mike couldn't wait to get out in it and were out shoveling this morning morning by 7:45.

After lunch we were back outside...building a snow cave that was turned into a slide, making snow ice cream (vanilla-rootbeer!,

snow angels, and snow brick walls to play human "birdy games". We learned that today in 1887 the largest snowflakes were recorded...15 inches wide by 8 inches thick. We didn't endeavor to make 8 inch thick snowflakes but Dallin and I made 15 inch wide ones. Dallin LOVES to makes snowflakes...he could cut all day.
