SNOW, SNOW, SNOW!

When Jon awoke this morning he couldn't believe his eyes. He woke me up to snow! The last time it snowed here was 4 years ago.Though it was a light dusting we were so excited that we woke up the kids.We didn't do anything but put on their rain boots, jackets, hats and gloves and headed out to see if we could find more in our area.We drove just 5 minutes up the road and this is what we found.Everyone was extra cautious because it's rare that we ever get snow like this.Kids were already out building snow men.And having snow ball fights. Rylee walked out of her rain boots a couple of times so we had to start heading back because her toes were getting frost bitten. Of course the school kids got a snow day because part of the city lost power.Jon got to be the hero that day because right as we were leaving a man slid on the sidewalk and fell down on his hip. We think that his hip was dislocated because it was shortened and rotated. Jon called 911 and the El Dorado Hills Fire Department was there in minutes. I bet they got a lot of calls that day.It was activly snowing so I drove our car out on to the park to give them a little shelter while waiting for the fire department. That was fun for me slipping and sliding around. What a great morning. Now off to Crossfit!
