First thing in the morning, we headed out to Graul's for storm supplies which mostly took the form of frozen fruit for the baby. Since the kids were along, we also purchased over-priced food market sleds there. Before heading home, we made quick stops in Target and WalMart for boots for the kids. Neither had any left on the shelves. On the way home, it started snowing.
Chris and the kids ventured out in the afternoon. They did some sledding for a little while (to make a solid base). Next, they did other typical snow activities. They shovelled. They made snow angels. They even tried making a snowman. Finally, they sledded some more. Eventually, Chris decided that 2 hours was long enough, though the kids could have stayed out another 2 hours.
For dinner everyone had some asian food—some leftover and some new. Both kids helped preparing the summer rolls. Our daughter especially enjoyed making and eating them. She preferred her rolls dipped in a sesame oil, though she did try the spicy ginger sauce (because it was spicy).
Our son had rice noodles with melted cheddar cheese. Only he can have mac and cheese thai style.
