Snow, Glorious Snow!!


Snow, glorious snow!
Brings the message of "no school"!
Snow, glorious snow!
Starts the snowy day ritual!

Yes it is true! It has snowed in Charlottesville - we got 3-5 inches overnight. With the dry, powdery goodness comes the glorious announcement that we all wait to hear:

NO SCHOOL TODAY!
I spent the morning sledding/snowboarding with my furry black friend, Chaos, and some of my other friends. Here's my friend, Elof, flying down the hill behind his house, trying to avoid rocks, drains, pipes, trees, and other various objects that could possibly put him into the hospital upon contact.


Here is Elof's brother, Fritjof, and his friend, Gunda. They were setting up camp, preparing to bombard enemy parents with massive snowballs.





This is Elska, Gunda's sister. She spent the day recreating last night's overnight snowstorm by spraying snow from tree branches in many directions, including down.





And finally, we have Elska, Fritjof, and their friend, Joran, standing next to Chaos the dog. They were lining up for a race down the deadly drop-off secretly known as "Lose Your Limbs Drop".




Possibly the best news of all is the announcement at 8:00 this evening:


NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!

Whoa! That is way more snow than we have here in Scandinavia!

Hey, some of those kids' names sound Scandinavian!

With the obvious exception of "Chaos the dog". You don't feel as if you need to protect Chaos the dog's identity?!?!?!

:o)
