Spring in Sheridan

So we headed home for Spring Break in Denver and a stop on the way home in Laramie on Sunday. We knew there was a storm moving in but who knew that we would time it just perfectly to arrive in Sheridan, just as the first big, juicy snowflakes began to fall? Literally, as we got off the interstate, it began to rain and by the time we had the van unpacked, there were HUGE snowflakes, literally about 2 inches in diameter, beginning to fall. They didn't stop until Monday afternoon.
Sheridan received about 18 inches snow. The whole town was shut down. Literally. We had a reverse 911 call that said that there was to be no travel around town until further notice. Only emergency vehicles and the city crews were allowed on the roads. Schools were closed for the day and the bank too!!! So, we enjoyed a lazy day, watching it snow, shoveling and playing in the deep, heavy, wet snow.









Meg, Ella and I made a tunnel in the snow that Dave shoveled up from the driveway. We were making great headway until Ella was cracked in the forehead with the small shovel. We decided it was time to go in after that for a break. The next day, Meg's friend Samantha came over. They finished the tunnel and crawled through!
