Oh the Weather

Apparently our snow day on Sunday was not the climax of this weather system. It snowed more on Monday so Reese and I went out and tried to find a sled. We successfully purchased a cheapo sled and then came home and bundled up to go sledding on the little hill by our house. Reese had so much fun, she kept saying "again, again" everytime we finished. She's a little off balance on the sled, so after we ride down she gets on her hands and knees on the sled while I drag her back up the hill like on of those Alaskan Iditarod race dogs. We took a break from sledding and tried to build a snowman, I've never built a snowman that I can recall and Nate's instructions the previous day hadn't worked for us so instead we built a little snow-gnome. He was quite handsome if we do say so ourselves. Reese was very helpful in packing the snow and also in attempting to eat the snow-gnome.
Today we were trying to catch a hop to D.C. to see some great friends that recently had a baby. There was a flight out of Spangdahlem so we got to the terminal for our 8:15 am showtime and we were the only ones waiting for the plane...YAY! We got ticketed and awhile later we were told that the plane might be skipping over the base we wanted to go to and going straight to Delaware. I asked if they would keep me updated because Delaware is 2 hours away from where I wanted to land. They finally sent us through security around 10am and the guy told me that as of now the plane was stopping in Maryland but the pilot might decide midflight to skip Maryland and go straight to Delaware. I was confused but decided that this was my best chance to get there so I pressed forward. When we were getting on the plane, the snow was really coming down so they said they were getting it de-iced and we'd be on our way. Over an hour later, after I'd fed Reese and she'd fallen asleep, they came to give me the bad news that they had a two hour delay due to the weather. They said we could wait on the plane or they would bus us back to the terminal to wait there. Since Reese was already asleep I decided not to wake her so I laid down for a nap on the plane. When she woke up later we started watching Bolt until they came to give us the bad news that the flight had been delayed until tomorrow. We were sad that we didn't get out, but we didn't have such a bad day at the terminal so I guess we'll brave it again tomorrow.
