Blizzard-Fun in the Snow

This last week and weekend we were snowed in for the second time this year. This time the weather was so bad that it closed down the main interstates. My family and I were snowed in starting half of the day on Wednesday through Saturday. My husband was sick of being stuck in the house, so he thought he would be fun to go drive in the blizzard on Friday. We left in the afternoon to go to his friends where he has cows at. The drive usually only takes 20 minutes and it took us about 30-45 minutes. The snow drifts that we were going through were 3 feet high. The snow plows that they didn't have to come out until Saturday. Tyler had a great time watching and petting the baby calves. Then our friends asked us to stay for supper and Dan said it was up to me and I said I really wanted to get home before dark. Well, we stayed for supper and on our way home there were two people that were stuck in the middle of the road. The roads were awful from Dell Rapids to our place, which is Hwy 34. One guy helped the one person get out and then we helped another person get out because they were buried in the middle of the road. The funny thing was they were driving a car and thinking they were going to make it. Hehehehe :) remember 3 feet drifts. We finally made it home an hour later! Here is some pictures of the weather on Friday night and Saturday!

I know this picture is hard to see, but you can see the big snowflakes coming down.

Let it snow!

All the snow we got! We ended up getting between a foot and half to 2 feet.

On Saturday we took Tyler out to play in the snow for a little bit. He didn't know what to think. He didn't like it if he fell in it and he definitely didn't like it when he had snow on his glove. Lately when he gets his hands dirty or something is on them he goes and gets a towel or has Dan or me clean it off. We didn't have sled, but we made a home made sled. He liked it for a little bit, but that was it. Here are some pictures of Tyler playing in the snow!

What do I have on my hand? Gloves!!!

Help !!! I have fallen and I can't get up!

What is this stuff! Its snow!

Wee!!! Tyler didn't know what to think!

Get it off! What is on my glove?

On Sunday we went to church in Sioux Falls and then finally got some grocery's and ran some errands. We also went to the home show, which wasn't too bad. It seems like we seen the same thing last year. I think we will save our money and not go next year. We finally came home after making our usual trip to Wal-Mart. Hope everybody has a great week and is dug out! Hopefully most of the snow melts this week, but then we have to deal with mud and a big mess.
