2009 Presidential Inauguration SNOW!

Snow doesn't happen around these parts very often, so it was especially wonderful when the snow shut EVERYTHING down and we were able to stay home! Not only did we get to PLAY, but we were able to watch one of the most historic Presidential Inaugurations of our time. The snow was absolutely beautiful! We got quite a bit more than I was expecting, but I'm not complaining, that's for sure. I like snow when it only makes an appearance every few years and is only around for a few days. Of course, the no work/no school perk isn't bad either! ;-) (The following photos are purely scenic and may be overload, but it was just so pretty!)



The wind was so strong that a layer of snow accumulated on the wood stack we have on our covered back patio.


The girls, peeking out the back door as I took photos of the snow.


Three Dr. Pepper cans frozen together... not sure how they managed such a perfect form, but it's a cool picture nonetheless!


A layer of ice covered the 'fish pond' (or 'piss pond,' as Lorelai says it)











We took a break for the inauguration ceremony. ADIOS DUBYA!!!!!


HELLO OBAMA!!!!!


Shane took a trip to the store and this was the result. So cool!






THAT'S A LOT OF SNOW, Y'ALL!
