We awoke to more of what seemed like we'd moved to Antarctica with snowing, winds blowing ... and cabin fever growing! Today we decided to venture out and head to Downtown Colorado Springs for lunch. Wise decision. We had close to 15 inches of snow at home. Heading just 20 minutes south to Downtown, we found a whole new world with absolutely no snow and blue skies and dry streets. We enjoyed lunch at our favorite little kid-friendly spot Poor Richard's and then worked in some shopping. Such a treat!

We returned home to discover that the sun was out, and the melt factor was in full force. Knowing this may be our last encounter with snow for the season (at least THIS much snow), we packed up our gear for a final sledfest at Toboggan Hill.
Reid got this new pirate get-up today
and insisted on wearing it to play in the snow...
eye patch and all. What a crack-up!
We did not
make
this giant snowball,
but thank you to the
high school kids
who did.
These kids also built this big ramp.
Of course, brave Luke wanted to try it out!
