Late April Snow Storm

So we have had a bit of snow over the past few weeks and this particular storm we made sure to enjoy it as we thought it was the last snow of the winter (on 4/29)...well we were wrong about that but more later.
 Grant and Jane couldn't wait for us to feel up to going out in the snow.  This was from our kitchen window before breakfast.  As you can see, it was pretty deep.
 It was also a pretty wet snow and making snow angels was particularly difficult.  As such, they came in pretty quick after I sent them out.
 Hazel couldn't really stand not being part of the fun and the only way I could pacify her was to face her high chair towards the window where she could watch the fun.  She is a noisy one and we try not to reward that, but dang she can be very loud when she doesn't get what she wants.
And then she can look all cute like this when we peer through the door to see if she is still sleeping. 
  So Jane, Grant and I decided to head over to the park across the street to see if we could get a sled to work down the hills.  We had success as evidenced by the video above.
And no snow day is not complete without building a snowman.  This snowman's life was unfortunately very short.

We had some other funny things that happened earlier this month.  I took Jane and Grant shopping for Mother's day to buy Kim some presents.  Kim mostly knew what she was getting, but I had at least one surprise - A DVD of a movie called Arrival that she liked.  Later that night Grant wasn't falling asleep very quickly and came downstairs and blurted out to Kim that one of her surprises was Arrival.  And when we called Grandma for Mother's day, he asked Grandpa how old he was and when he answered that he was 80, Grant took it upon himself to inform Grandpa that he is going to die soon.  We're still scratching our heads on where that came from.
