High Snow + Fence = Escape Route

This weekend we spent another 3 hours each getting more snow/ice off our roof, and then off our deck, driveway and sidewalks. It's amazing how much snow our roof held! And the one area of our yard where some of the snow has been dumped has finally reached within inches of the top of our fence/gate. So I also got to dig out that area before the dog realizes she can just walk right over the top of the fence in that part of the yard!

Moving around all this snow also means that the sledding hill created off the top of our deck is now off limits for the kids - the snow pile is so high that when the climb up it, they could now fall over onto the middle section of our deck and I'd hate to see anyone get hurt. So, in the meantime, they are enjoying jumping off the other "hill" created in our yard, playing in the snow fort and doing all kinds of other things around the yard.
Here are some pictures of the crazy snow piles (and Bailey wondering what I'm doing!)
This is a rabbit who is enjoying the tall snow hill - he can eat the squirrel's corn now too!

Why we can't use the sledding hill right now!

Crazy!! Dad had to dig snow away from the corner of our yard, too, so Logan couldn't find her way out. Great pictures of Bailey!
