ice, ice, and more ice

Last night it started to rain and it sprinkled all night. This was not just regular rain – it was angry freezing rain.

The entire central and western North Dakota was under a "no travel advised" warning.
So we cancelled our planned weekend trip to Fargo, and hunkered down for a couple days at home.


This morning was actually beautiful if you could get past the glare ice covering every inch of land/sidewalk/driveway/porch. Once we got over the ice skating rink, we had some fun!
Corey tried his luck at pheasant hunting again. (no luck)


Kya and I took photos of the ice.


Kya's poor tree. I hope the branches are able to hold strong and don't break.


Our lawn


Ice flowers




Catching snowflakes!


Crunching ice in the tall grass


Kya absolutely loves the snow! (and in this case: the ice)


We were ready to get back inside and have hot chocolate, but she insisted on a quick game of soccer. She just couldn't get enough of the brick morning outside. Funny kid.
