The Blizzard of 2010

Yes, even in southern Alabama we got a small dose of it!  On Friday morning Kevin woke up at 7 to get ready to head to Ft. Rucker for study hours, I rolled back over... ready to drift back into sweet slumber when he announced "IT'S SNOWING!"  Of course I jumped quickly out of bed and ran to the window.  If we were still living in the north this never would have happened, but in LA (lower Alabama) snow days are few and far between.  Schools were of course closed and they were not allowing people to enter Ft. Rucker until 9am so it was officially a snow day!  We took this as a great opportunity to get on the road early.  We were supposed to be leaving for Grandma Lohr's house in Lorida, FL later that afternoon, but were happy to leave by 10:30am.  As much as I would have loved to lay in bed and watch the snow fall onto our pool from our bedroom window, it was fun to see snowmen being built in many yards on our way out.  Below are some pictures from the snow:
 
What we woke up to Friday morning
Never thought we would see snow in our back yard

Of course we had to get a picture in it
 
Our house
The roads were being covered as we left for Florida
