Snow Day

Not really but it snowed for the first time today. We live on a bus route but not a busy street and have seen two fender benders already. It happens all over but every year on the first snow fall people who have lived here for years forget how to drive when it is icy out for the first week or so. We haven't had an offical close down the schools snow day for something like 15 years and since we lived near the school we walked over their anyways. It was grade 5 and there was like 15 of us there with our teacher. I can't remember the entire day well but I remember it being a lot of fun for a day spent at the school.

Mark and I managed to shovel the walk and kick a pile of leaves that Wendy had piled up so our work is done. I can't wait for a little more snow so we can take Mark downhill on the sled. It brings back fun memories of my GT Snowracer (make a really fast sled with a really high centre of gravity and watch kids almost die on a hill).
