The snow wasn't unexpected. Definitely not. We knew last night that we were going to get hit. Hard. However, this has been an unusually mild winter. So I guess maybe we weren't quite expecting the storm we had. It was a snow day for the schools today, which if you know Minnesota, you know that is a big deal. For our family, however, snow days don't mean a whole lot, right? My kids aren't in public school yet, so no difference there.
Cameron went out to shovel the driveway this morning, and came back in and decided he was probably going to stay home from work. But, he is going to be home for the next three work days while I go out to help my sister who just had twins. Due to that, he figured he better try to go in today.
He didn't get far. He got down the driveway, but then immediately got stuck in our little G6. Some neighbors came to the rescue with shovels, and helped dig him out, and got him going down hill on our street, and we though he was on his way. Until he got stuck again. So, thanks to a neighbor, and a big rope and a Yukon, we got him back into our garage and he stayed there for the rest of the day.
It was too funny watching him get stuck, and then slipping and sliding in his nice dress clothes. I had to take pictures. Miley and Landon were having fun watching. Miley kept yelling out the door, "Are you OK, Daddy?"
We were gad to have Cameron home, although he still had to work quite a bit and call into meetings.
So what were we to do on our unexpected snow day? Sledding in the back yard, of course! A bunch of the neighbors came over, and despite the deep snow that was still falling and freezing winds, we still had a lot of fun.
Miley had so much fun. We tried to get Landon in on the action (as you can can see in the first couple of pictures), but he was over it once he got a little snow in his face. But he sure was cute hanging out in the back of the car while we did some shoveling!
It was a great day, but now I am crossing my fingers for good weather so there are no delays for my flight tomorrow!

We are hoping for no delays too! We need help over here... :)
Seriously, your neighborhood and neighbors look like so much fun! Wish I could move into the house next door! And wish we could have been there to go sledding with you guys in your back yard... Landon and Cruze could have been sissies together!
Holy cow! I don't know how you Minnesotans do it. That is some crazy stuff. I'm just glad everyone is safe. I guess it was good that Cameron got stuck so close to home:)
