April (snow)showers...

...bring 4 feet of snow and 4 days without electricity or water! One thing we love about living in the Colorado mountains is the crazy weather we get. In the beginning of April, people were packing up their ski's and putting on their shorts. We had a few days that totally felt like summer. Then last weekend it snowed for 3 days straight and we got almost 4 feet of snow. It was such heavy/wet snow that it broke the tops of trees and branches off, some of which found themselves tangled up in powerlines. So...we were without electricity from Friday until Monday night. It was crazy. Church was even cancelled! We had a good time though - lots of reading and game playing. It's fun to play "pioneer" for a couple days. Although I have to admit, by day 3-4 when you SMELL like a pioneer, it starts to get a bit old. Here's some pics for all you East coast friends who are already laying out in your bathing suits!




That big pile of snow is our car there behind Jeremy.
