Snow Day!

Jake and I had a snow day today.  I was supposed to have class (and a test in that class) this afternoon, but the school closed at 1pm today instead due to lotsa snow (total for this storm will probably be between 9 and 16 inches).  So, Jake and I had a really fun snow day at home all afternoon!

The snow was really heavy at times (which made it really pretty), so we went outside onto our patio and watched it fall while drinking hot chocolate.  There were some pretty big flakes!

 

We also tried to catch some flakes in our mouths.  Some of them were the size of two quarters- at least!  We only got "caught" once when we were diving over the railing to try to catch them.  A guy who was walking inside said, "Yeah, supposed to just be rain, huh?"  At least he didn't say, "Wow you guys look way too old to be trying to eat snowflakes."  That would have been embarrassing. 

Then we made a fort and ate s'mores!  It took me a while to convince Jake that we should make a fort, but I'm pretty sure he's glad that we did.  It was way fun.  We also watched a movie tonight.  Overall, it was a GREAT snow day!
