Such a pleasant day

Today was such a dreary day when it started.  I kid you not the fog was so thick you couldn't see but a few feet in front of you.  But as the day progressed the fog lifted and by three o'clock it was so sunny.  Our outdoor thermastat said it was fifty degrees.

So the kids, decided to take advantage of the sun and go out.  We still have some pretty deep drifts of snow in our yard.  Some of the drifts are so deep that they come up to Cassie's hip still.  They tried playing volleyball but the ball kept making its way down the hill so they decided to snowboard down the hill. 





As you can see there are areas of the yard that are free of snow.  There is hope that we will see the ground soon.  However, I don't think we will be snow free by the official start of spring, March 20th. 

After the girls snowboarded a while they came in to see if they could go see if the neighbor kids could play.  BUT before they could get out of the yard, by foot, the neighbor kids arrived on their bikes and wanted to know if they wanted to go for a bike ride.  So, we got the bikes down off the garage hooks and they went for a bike ride in their snow pants and snow boots.
