Brotherly love? I don't think so. More like sibling rivalry.

VanHorn's Snow Dog

Our friends, the VanHorn's called this morning as we were enjoying pancakes on our second Snow Day, and invited us to a snowball fight. Invitation accepted. We all dressed in snow gear, well as much as we had that would fit, and headed to VanHorn's, a short 1/2 mile down the road. I didn't capture a lot of the actual snowball action on camera because I was making and throwing snowballs as fast as I could. Tracy and I found that the snow on top of the hot tub cover was the best for making snowballs (it is very powdery snow and hard to compact.) But the hot tub is up against a wall and we found that snowballs coming too fast and furious. It soon turned into the two of us against everyone else. We were under seige with no end in sight. Todd came and helped us for a bit until the snow on the hot tub was gone. We waved our white flag and moved the fight out into the yard. We had a great time. The VanHorn's taught our kids how to climb the tree and when the enemy was right below, jump on the branches to shake snow on them. A great snowball fighting tactic! Mark just had to egg on the Bishop a time or two, and it as all fun. We had a great time. Thanks to the VanHorns for the snow party.
