The Blizzard of 2008

It snowed late yesterday afternoon and early evening yesterday for the first time in a looooong time. McGwire was overly excited but I have to admit, so was I. McGwire thanked Heavenly Father for letting it snow last night. That was sweet. He was pretty disappointed this morning when Tim told him that school wasn't cancelled. He had been talking about no school for 2 days so he was not a happy camper this AM when he had to go. It pretty much rained all night but didn't freeze. There is still some snow on the ground but I'm sure that will all be melted in a few hours.

Here's Mac catching snowflakes on his tongue!

Here's McG and a couple of his friends in the neighborhood catching snowflakes. They are from Brooklyn, New York so they weren't too impressed with this snowfall but still were excited to see snow in Georgia. As a side note...look at the difference in size of McGwire and his friends. They are the same age...maybe a couple of months apart. They are twins, so I think they were a bit premature, but still!

Making snow angels! :)

McGwire scrounged up enough snow to make a snowball and then the fight was on!!

Here's a video of all of the fun!!!! It was snowing pretty good at the time but you can't see a thing on the video. At least it shows how much fun the kids were having!
