Snow, snow and more snow

MA has been receiving record snowfall lately, and that has really hampered our outings. However, it does come with some benefits. Last week Kyle had two snow days, followed by his Friday off and then the Martin Luther King Holiday on Monday. A nice 6 day vacation, during which we were pretty much holed up in the house. Of course, that lends itself to lots of reading and video games. Our neighbor Ernie, diligently shoveling. Even Frak decided she...

We certainly didn't get to see everything, and that is with spending 6 hours there. We did take a long time enjoying this piece of...
