Snow Snail Mail

Instead of the calm before the storm,

today was the calm after the storm. 

The roads are still not cleared very well

and even our main highway is only one lane in many places. 

SNOW!

While Elliotte was taking her afternoon nap,

Piper and I decided to forgo her daily quiet time

to go to the post office instead.

Knowing that there was still lots of snow on the road,

I figured Blue may like to join us.

I wasn't wrong.

He was so excited to put on his harness today!

There was no hesitation at all.

Once he was hooked up to Piper's sled,

it was heaps of fun all around.

During our two kilometer ride to the post office,

we had kids and parents coming out to the road to wave 

and tell us how much fun it looked like we were having.

I'm sure Blue was even smiling!

I kept having to tell him to slow down.

We even had a lady chase us down 

because she wanted to pet Blue.

She kept saying that she wished the Journal Pioneer

(our local paper)

was around to take our photo.

I just laughed at her.

After running 1.5 kilometers in big winter boots and a winter coat,

I did NOT want anyone taking my picture.

lol.

It really was a lot of fun.

Hopefully the weather will be nice enough to do it again tomorrow!

On our way to the post office!

After retrieving our package from Aunt Krista, Uncle Harold and Jack.

Mush, Blue! Mush!

Playing fetch in the deep snow in our backyard after our outing.
This is one happy dog!!
(Can you see our six feet high fence here?
I actually think Blue is laying on it.
Well... above it.)

I told Elliotte that she missed all of the fun..
so she found her own fun.
Always up to something, this little monkey!

PS.

Piper fell asleep in my arms tonight, just after we finished reading bedtime stories. She was exhausted from all of the excitement. AND Blue is passed out at my feet as I type this. He fell asleep in our front porch after we came inside and didn't move (except to eat supper) for the rest of the day. I feel like such a great mom when everyone passes out from fun overload! xo xo xo
