We had a rare weekend where we didn't anticipate being trapped at home by an incoming snowstorm, and took advantage of the dry pavement to make the trip to Grand Haven for a winter visit with the kids. The girls hadn't been to the house since the beginning of December, and were particularly eager to return.
 |
| We were greeted with an impassable driveway and an unholy amount of snow in the yard |
 |
| Nothing says "welcome back" quite like 40" of snow at the foot of your driveway (we used Megan for scale - she is approximately 48" and the drift just behind her reached her shoulder blades) |
 |
| We only had our shovels out for a few minutes before our new favorite neighbor came to the rescue with his snowblower |
We eventually got the car in the driveway and the house warmed up. Friday night went quickly, but we were up early the next morning and ready for adventure.
 |
| Out for a walk on the giant snowbanks |
 |
| We walked to a nearby bakery, which only opens on Saturdays for a few hours. Our objective was donuts, but we heard there were fresh out of the oven brownies, and left with a few of those too. |
 |
| We got some work done in Hannah's future bedroom too, though I'm still not sure it was so wise to let Hannah help with the hammering... |
 |
| Sneak preview! We have to haul over her nightstand yet, and she's short a blanket and a set of blinds, but we've come a long way! |
 |
| One more preview - final product to be unveiled in the near-ish future! |
