Big Bird Blizzard of 08!


We miss you at the Big Bird Blizzard of 08! Oh what fun, we spent most of Monday with the kids out playing in the Turkish delight. Along with half the city.
I'm amazed at how may people, young and old come out to play in the snow. We live near an open area they call a park, it has some trees and a few muddy trails but everyone and there brother come to it on days like this.
They were sledding down the few small hills the park has on anything they could find. Plastic bags, trash can lids, a cookie sheet from the oven... It was soon funny to watch grown men sliding down a hill in a foot of snow on a plastic grocery sack!
Jennifer, through her resourcefulness found a very large plastic banner near some trees and we clamed this as the Jetsons sled!! 4 could fit on at a time, others were staring with envy.
It is 10:18pm here right now and still I can hear the laughter of kids out sledding on the streets in front of our apartment. They love this stuff almost as much as I do.
