Oh this has been a SWEET vacation from the world.  I love being snowed in.  And finally, FINALLY, my children know what real snow is.  Not snow you visit, but home snow, deep snow, on the ground for days snow.  We have cooked, slept, and hiked.  We've watched movies, knit sweaters, and stared out the window in bliss.  We spent a long time sledding today in the warm sunshine.  We spent so much time on our sleds I came in with numb hinter regions.  Its been AWESOME!
