I think the nation has learned by now, one snowflake in Atlanta = Snowjam. Atlanta traffic isn't fun, add a little ice, sleet and snow to the steep hilly roads and well, traffic jam. People stuck in cars, hotels, walking down highways trying to get home. Not fun for the adults. But for the kids..... well, snow can equal just about the most fun day(s) of the year! I was in Houston, TX for work and missed the whole thing. I can't even tell you about bummed I was to miss all the fun with the kids and families in the neighborhood. Todd made it home in just a few hours, and was able to spend quality time with the kids sledding and playing in the snow. Just look at Drews grin in the picture above. I think he was excited!
Here is our little Drew flying on down a neighbors hill full throttle
Hannah doubled up with her little buddy Lila. Hannah was a little less adventurous than Drew with the big hills, but she had her share of fun.
Those are some genuine big smiles in the midst of a really fun day
And really, really? Could he be any happier in this photo. I am guessing this was during a bit of a snowball fight with dad.
I am so grateful that while I was traveling that we have such great neighbors that kept me updated with the weather and got Hannah off the bus. I am even more grateful Todd left work when he did and beat the snow jam. Had he left about another 30 minutes later, he would had been one of the cars you saw on the news while Drew would had been stuck at school. But, all ended well, and made a lot of time for the fun. My Tuesday return from Houston got delayed until Thursday with about 7 canceled flights and delays. I couldn't complain given everything all the Atlantans went through. Just happy everyone was safe!!
It has been one cold winter across the US, Atlanta has been no exception, but still, I can't really complain. We will gladly take a snow day here and there for the kids. Next time, at the hint of snow, we will just work from home though :)
