Winter Storm Fern

Last Sunday we had the biggest storm we've had in decades.  We went shopping like everyone else and had tons of food in case we got stuck in for a few days.  We made fun off all the people getting 3 dozen eggs until we realized we only had 4 eggs left!  It was miserable outside so we stayed in all day.  I looked out the front door in the morning.  

Our guy came to plow at 4 inches.  

But then it came right back!

I had the brilliant idea of car covers for Amy and Aden's cars.  They worked really well.  The snow didn't really stick.

This was our deck.

It was around 9 inches by that point. 

My crown popped off!  Oh no!  I had so much trouble eating and we were stuck in the house and the dentist was closed.  

I had to go outside to make sure the faucet was open.  

It was miserable out.  It turned into sleet which was painful.

They came the second time.  

The beef stew came out well.  Ariel slept at Tessa's house with a bunch of the girls.  

They came a third time!

Here were the totals. We got between 10 and 12 inches.  

Last Monday, the kids were off.  The sun returned and it looked kind of pretty.  

I drove to get Ariel.  

Look how deep the snow was!

I saw this.  A robot plow!

Here's a closeup.  

More indoor activities.  

I took Ariel to the market.  

Then Aden played some tennis matches.  

 

Museum of Illusions

It's Sunday night and it's just way too cold out.  I'm staying in the house!  Speaking of cold, last Saturday morning was brrr.  

We were getting ready for the storm coming the next day.  

I took the boys into Philly to go to the Museum of Illusions.  They had been wanting to go to a long time.  

It was such a cool place.  

Are we at a weird angle?  

Noah is floating.  

Trippy.

Noah salad!

Are we on a building?

I could not walk through here.  Made me sick.  

Where are you going Noah?

Up to space!

Eli is shrinking!

The place was not very big but very clean.  

What's going on here?

Oh no, hang on boys!            

Took a while but they figured out this puzzle.  

We did it!

Back to the building.  

Lots of Noahs.  

This is cool.  

Which is the real Noah?  

Now they are both hanging out the window.  

Is it Noah or Eli or both?  

Of course we had to buy stuff at the gift shop.  

We got some pizza then headed home.  

That night, we went to Magerks for a synagogue night out.  They got about 70 people. 

We had so much fun!
