Wednesday morning we loaded up and went to Gram & Poppy's house. First on the agenda: Ranger ride in the pasture. Second on the agenda? Call Frank and Poppy to come pull us out of the mud! Yes, the Ranger does have a limit and it's called a muddy creek bed. Geoff got unstuck without any help and made it across the creek to save the family who had to get out, before help arrived. But we played it safe after that! Claire received more presents that day and everyone enjoyed time outside. Thursday, after watching the menacing forecast for snow, we headed to the farm to ride Barney, fish and ride in the Ranger. It seemed to get colder and windier the longer we stayed out, and finally everyone was just too cold to have fun anymore. Friday the snow came, and came and came! Big beautiful flakes started very slowing and then picked up to blizzard-like by the evening. We stayed inside and played Wii, did various crafts, baked and decorated cakes and watched the basketball game that night. Saturday morning brought more snow. Some of the extended family were coming to visit until the weather deemed this impossible. But we made the best of the day, and went out to play. It was bitter cold and windy, so a short Ranger ride and some snow balls later, everyone came in. Gram and Claire made snow ice cream (yum) and we cuddled up for a winter's night snooze. We left KS Sunday morning, and saw snow the whole way home, but arrived to 60 degree weather, and THE SUN! Thanks to Gram and Poppy for a memorable visit!
