“Blizzard” of 2009

Ha…ok, I know it wasn’t a blizzard.  But we definitely got some snow this past weekend.  It was March 1st, but that didn’t stop the snow.  I rarely believe the weathermen when they predict severe weather, especially for several days in advance.  I knew it was going to be yucky this past weekend – hence the reason for my long treadmill run.

On Sunday, we headed to lunch and then to see Kooza – a Cirque du Soleil show that I highly recommend!  (It was quite entertaining…while it did not have a lot of the crazy running/tumbling acrobatics, it was still an amazing and enjoyable show.  Quite funny w/the clowns, too!)  As we were heading down there, it was raining.  I knew there had been hail earlier in the morning.  By the time we got down there, it was sleeting.  And by the time we hit the big top (after lunch), it was snowing.  During intermission, it was still snowing.  After the show, it was still snowing.

We came home and took Stella out – she seemed to like it last year.  I think she was a definitely intrigued by it this year.  She definitely liked eating it off the ground!!!  Then again, I think she just likes being outside, especially if it is cold or windy out!  But I think she was a little timid to do her stuff in it…Here she is, in all her snowy glory   Oh – and that deflated, chewed up soccer ball – it’s her FAVORITE!
