We dug out of my parents' house Saturday morning. We really hoped that the wind would stop blowing so that we would be able to go back and hang out with everyone, but the weather didn't cooperate! We also really didn't want to be snowed in there again :)
We made it home without too much trouble once we got to the highway. There was a huge drift in the middle of the highway about halfway to town. Curtis hit it pretty hard and the 4Runner rocked a little. Lane looked at Curtis and made a sound like "ach"...I could just see him thinking, "Dad, what did you do that for!?"
Once we got to our driveway, we found that we had to drive through the field out to the pivot point, then back west towards our house to avoid any drifts. Lane thought that driving through the field was hilarious!
This is what we saw when we pulled up to our house. We were a little worried about how we were going to get in. Curtis thought we could get in the back door, but it was locked. Luckily, I remembered there was a key in the 4Runner that we had never used. It was for the back door, so we got in without any trouble!
This is our never-used-before back door that is coming in handy right now!
It is a little weird being in our house and not being able to see out because of all the snow! It feels a little claustrophobic :) It is really cool though to get to see a blizzard like this. I just wish I was young again and had nothing to do but go out sledding all afternoon. We have a great hill behind our house that goes down into the field that would be so much fun to sled! If I only had a sled....
We did go out and play a little this afternoon - those pictures will be coming soon!
