April 9--Huge Ice storm starts. We did not think that this tree would make it through the night, it was so weighed down by ice.
The tree did survive, though it is now touching the ground. The rest of Sioux Center is a disaster area. You absolutely could not drive around because there were tree branches and huge limbs all over the roads. Not to mention fear of a tree limb falling on your car as you drive under it. I don't know how many trees will survive the loss of most of their branches. It is really, really sad!
April 10-Eight inches of snow on top of all of the ice spells more disaster for the trees, Of course, school is cancelled and more trees are down. A true wreck! But the kids love it (even if they have to make up the snow day in a month). It was the perfect snowman snow, so out the kids went and built a whole family!April 10-Another ice/snow storm and the kids have another snow day. Of course, this time it was on the day that Kellen was supposed to go to the circus with his class. He was so sad that his circus trip was cancelled that Skylar decided to put on his very own private circus. She tried so hard to make him happy--it was the sweetest thing!
Unbelievable! Two snow days in a week and we had not had one all year! Please, no more snow---we want spring!
