Snowmageddon Dallas 2010

Although it definitely caused problems for some, we were delighted by Thursday’s record snowfall! We mostly stayed inside on Thursday while it fell, admiring out the window and getting some painting and other work done inside. I did take Brenden out front briefly and showed him how to make and throw a snowball. From then on, his favorite word (other than “no”) became “ball”. Brenden loved looking out the window and kept saying, “No! No!” (which, in this context, means snow)

Thursday night I took some pictures during the last few hours of the snowfall. On Friday we bundled up and actually played in the snow. Brenden got to walk around in snow for the first time and helped me build our first snowman. He was a great sport for a while until his hands got cold and wet. Jonathan made a brief trip outside but spent most of the afternoon inside with Jenny. Here are some of our pictures:

After the recent storms, I went to my favorite park (Villages of Bear Creek Park in Euless) to check out the creek. I wasn’t disappointed. Authorities had closed the road that runs through the park due to earlier high water. The creek had receded below road level by the time I arrived, but just barely. You can see the rushing water flowing under the bridge and tree limbs caught in the guardrail.
