Snow Days

First, a huge shout-out (people still say that, right?) and "Thank you!" to Grandy for the well-timed visit. What else could we have done those two days this week?

All of you probably now know the reason we needed her, or someone - and the reason Mom sat out our little outing after Grandy left this afternoon.

Dad and the kids went to the park outside Navy Pier for Snow Days Chicago, a weekend-long event with snow sculptures by teams from around the world, snowboard competitions involving kids, and dog sled racing demonstrations.

The kids, of course, were just as amused to play in the snow on the ground.





Don't worry, nobody was hurt in the making of this film!
