Snow Days in Missoula!

Missoula was covered by 2 ft of snow this last week. Our family was in heaven skiing, building forts and "frosting" with all the powder. 


The winter weather prompted school officials to call of classes. Alex scored the most since the severe weather happened during Finals week. He got 5 extra days to put off tests until next Wednesday!


John and I ended up skiing 5 days this last week at Snowbowl. Our first experience with crowds at the hill after a massive dump was an eye opener. The resort had to close off the roads due to the masses. 

Turns out that I really love to shovel.
I sorta got obsessed making "doggy paths" for our new pup "Pudge".
I also dug out 4 cars on our street and piled heaps of snow for the girls to build forts.

We had a bunch of girls over to work on several snow structures.

My job was to pile up snow and the girls created really cool spaces complete with rooms, chairs and tables all made of snow.
