Snow in South Carolina!!!

In the almost 5 years we have lived in South Carolina, the only snow we have seen was a random tiny snowflake or two that lasted only a few seconds in the air on one cool "winter" day two years ago. This time, however, was different....very different. Before the snow even began falling on Friday afternoon (about 3pm), the school district decided to send their students home early. The kids were all VERY excited to say the least. Quinn decided that we'd better have some fire wood ready so we could have a nice toasty fire to sit by and enjoy the snow. So he got right to work chopping wood. Savannah (left) and her friend Katelyn built a snowman with the neighbors as the snow fell in earnest.

The snow continued to fall pretty heavily for the rest of the afternoon and into the night. It was amazing! Here's Quinn, Brenden and Ammon with their snowmen later that evening.

Apparently, I got the above photo from the backside....this is the front of the snowmen....

The next morning, it was a winter wonderland!!!

Here's Ammon on our back portch.Brenden took the kids sledding on a fun hill nearby (at a golf course). They had a GRAND time!!!....I knew there was a reason we moved our sleds with us from Utah :)

Amazingly enough, the snow melted about as fast as it had come. By Sunday most of the snow had melted....and temperatures soon returned to the low 60's.....it was fun while it lasted :)
