Griswold the Snowman

Dillon and I loaded up the car yesterday afternoon and attempted the trek from Shawnee to Oklahoma in this oh-so-bad weather.  We were thankful for the Orr's neighbors in Shawnee that busted out the John Deer tractor and plowed the neighborhood streets so we could get past the 4ft drifts in the neighborhood.  That was what we thought was keeping us from leaving...but once we hit Midwest City, we realized how bad the roads really were.  We made the usual 45 minute drive in 4 hours....it was a long ride and we nearly ran off the road twice.

Today was a gorgeous day, however.  After a nice long night in our OWN bed we were rested and warm inside.  When Kenwood went down for a nap this afternoon Dillon and I decided to make a snowman.  Yes, we are still children at heart...pretty sure we always will be. We used the snow to be the "cooler" for our beers, popped a top and created our masterpiece.  We didn't have any coal and I don't want to share any of my scarves with Griswold, that's our snowman's name, so we used our beer expertise.  He has bottle caps for eyes, bottles for his arms and nose...and of course the box for his hat. Behold.
