Snow In Idaho For Thanksgiving!

Our First snow fall the kids wanted to head out and enjoy the snow by making a snow fort. They cheated alittle to make it stay up and used our picnic table. The first snow fall was extremely wet and easy to make snow balls. The kids really enjoyed it.

Our Second day of snow fall wasn't so nice. But then again it was. The kids didn't have school for 2 days because of the blizzard conditions we had. The roads were closed all around us and the drifts were something else. But of course it was pretty to look at from the warm toasty house.

I just loved how it blastered our fence with snow because the wind was blowing so bad.

Daniel of course has to use his bobcat to plow out our driveway, and after putting a TURBO yes a turbo on the bobcat he had to try it out and opted to do so by plowing out the nice ladies mailbox down the road. The grader went through and buried her mailbox and she was unable to get mail for 2 days because the pile was at least 4 feet high and 5 feet across. He first decided he was just gonna go for it and plow through but he soon learned it wasn't gonna work after being stuck for a minute and having to shovel himself out. After getting unstuck he took my advice and took out alittle at a time. I think he likes playing in the bobcat more then he lets on. It now has a turbo, windshield wiper, and soon to come a radio as soon as he orders the speakers. BOYS N THEIR TOYS. =>
