Snow Days 2014

So it wasn't exactly snow, but at the end of January the kids were out of school for three days due to a winter storm that left us covered in ice. The gulf coast is not prepared for this type of weather, and due to the number of bridges surrounding us, everything, and I do mean everything, shut down for two complete days.

My crepe myrtle looking all pretty covered in ice. My gardenia gave in due to the weight. Thankfully it perked right back up once the ice melted. 

Pitiful palm.

At first glance we were quite excited because we thought we got a little snow, turns out everything frozen.

  It may be cold and frozen but it's the first snow day my kids have had and they were determined to make the most of it.

Tucker doing a little curling with some large pieces of ice. My patio was a complete sheet of ice.

Snow Day 2014!

Frozen trampoline, the kids loved busting it up.

Sailor testing the fountain to see if it froze.

Even the dogs got in a little playtime.

Daisy just wanted to eat the ice.

Although quite pretty to look at, I'm glad it doesn't come around here often and hope we don't have to deal with it again for quite some time!
