Wow...what a crazy week the first week of Feb 2011 was!! Hit by 2-3 inces of sleet/ice early in the week...and then 5-6 inces of snow later in the week!! The weekend before was 70 degrees and sunny.. ONLY in Texas!!
We took the girls out in the snow for a few minutes after the sun came out and it warmed up.
I took their mittens off so they could get the true sensation of the snow...and to see their reaction.
Ashlee was not too sure what to think. I think she was just happy to be outside in the sunshine!
Brooke thought it was cool at first...until the "tingle/burn" of the cold hit her nerves! Then the fun was over!
Gus LOVED it of course. He was rolling around and burying his head in it.
Jake thought it was fun...but it was belly high on the poor guy and he got cold fast!
He learned to run and play in the tire ruts.
I thought the house looked beautiful...all nice and white!
We had some pretty long icicles in some places..
The pond almost froze up completely. There was just a tiny spot thawed....that the ducks went round and round in! It was kind of funny watching them work it to keep it thawed. We laughed at them coming in to land and skidding on the ice! We had a few geese stay over and spend the night on the ice. Makes my belly cold thinking about it.
Jake --- walks on water! Don't worry...we did not let him step out on it far!
I told Shane if the dogs fell thru...he was going to be VERY cold going to get them!!
The fish feeder was not doing so good....I think all our tilapia have kicked the bucket!
Again...only in our Great State of TEXAS!
