Winter In Flint

Thursday night we were treated to a MASSIVE snow storm, so spectacular, all the schools were closed 4 pm the day before. School officials knew there was no way anyone was going to be able to dig their way out of this mess in the 16 hours before school was scheduled to begin the next day. Kids happy, parents all over SICK and TIRED of this winter. Of the 7 weeks of this semester, not one yet has featured a full week of school. Friday morning, Simon set out to do some shoveling, but gave up after a few minutes. Then shoveled some more later.

Once Simon and Frederick were sufficiently stuffed with warm foods and hot toddies, they headed out to a nearby park for sledding and recreating. I'm not sure what Frederick is attempting to do here. I don't think he knows, either.

Frederick from afar, in his favorite tree.

Once home, Simon and decided to clear off the trampoline. Frederick helps.

I'm really envious. The rest of the UK gets snow but all we get is wave after wave of rain. Good thing I don't have to go to school anyway ...
