More Snow And The Children's Theater

First thing this morning, Vincent came downstairs and into our room and said, "Daddy, I saw that it's snowing outside, and more than yesterday. That means we can have a real snowball fight!"

A couple minutes later, Tyler came downstairs. First thing he said was, "Hey guys, I need to tell you a question. It's snowing outside. Now we can have a snowball fight!"

Oh boy! David even dragged the kids across the backyard in the sled. There's not much snow here, but it more than doubled by dinner time.
Once we got that all out of our system, we braved the elements and headed downtown to the Seattle Center (yes, again. Third time this week!) for the Seattle Children's Theater's production of "A Year With Frog And Toad."

We weren't sure what it would be like outside, but once on the road, we realized it wasn't so bad. When the show started, there was no snow on the ground in front of the building. But, when we came out of the theater for intermission, we could clearly see a much different scene. Snow was coming down quickly, and the trees were covered with white. By the time the show was over, we knew we couldn't make it to our second plan of the day: driving to Federal Way.
The drive home wasn't terrible, but pretty slow. Along the way, we saw a street car that went off the track and a car that crashed into a poll. We made it up our street, but couldn't get into the driveway. After shoveling most of the snow out fo the way, we still couldn't pull up. David parked on the street, but was later able to go back and get the car into the garage.

The rest of the day was spent indoors. David did take the boys out to the nearby market to pick out desserts (mostly just to get out a little), while I made dinner. Dinner tonight was fish taco. Yum.
