Finally, snow.

This is Jon. We finally got some significant snow. We've been "blessed" with a few dustings of the white stuff, followed by an inch or two here and there. But finally we got some substance with probably eight inches or so a few days ago. Of course, as I write this, the thermometer is on its way to a high of 49 degrees today, so it'll be gone by the end of tomorrow. Disappointing winter, but at least a fun couple of days. And no, we don't cancel or postpone school here.

The girls, back from Kids Club at the local church, all decked out in Seahawks Blue for the Super Bowl. Like any place in Washington, Kittitas was gung-ho for the Hawks.

Annual cheer camp for the girls. The photos aren't the greatest of them in action, but they had a great time.

Taking advantage of the snow, we headed out to Craigs hill that overlooks the rodeo grounds (so it's an awesome place).

This was taken after Adelyn had suffered the fate of a couple of ill-advised runs that ended in jumps with her going flying. She wasn't hip to that jive.

Happy Daddy and Dee, a very tired and beat up Adelyn. Hard snow on frozen ground takes a toll.

So we went to Winegars for hot chocolate.

. It snowed even more Saturday night/Sunday morning, so we went back with Brittany. Yes, that is my home away from home behind us.

Adelyn met up with friends Sida and Grace (also in first grade) and Delaney's friend Josh (third grader like Dee) at the top of the hill.

I think one of Adelyn's favorite things to do is shovel snow. She was mad that I had dug my car out without her, so I let her shovel the driveway for easy access to Mom's car.
