Big Snows

I love big snows in Colorado!  It doesn't always happen every year, but I really feel like if it's going to snow let's go huge!  This storm didn't disappoint.  Here is Gavin already starting the foundation of a huge snow fort in the front of the house.

I am not quite sure how many times I actually shoveled the drive way, but it felt like five or six times over the course of 24 hours.  The snow stacked up so much that I was starting to have a hard time getting it thrown over the piles on each side of the driveway.

Here is a look at the back porch where I think we had close to 18" or more in places.

The progress was slow and steady on the front snow hut.  Eventually it was big enough to have both boys fully inside and contained multiple egress points on either side.

 The other part that I love of Colorado is that the sun comes out quickly chasing these storms and we are already looking at some great weather to enjoy all of the snow festivities...well, at least after my back heals from all this shoveling.
