Ice Day

We anticipated this day all week. Except we anticipated 1-3 inches of snow!! And all we got was ice! They really hyped up the snow so when we woke up to nothing, I was so disappointed!

But Houston did practically shut down due to the ice. There were 100 accidents in 4 hours and most of the freeways had been closed. Beth closed our office and Steve closed the dealership so we got a day off!! Yay!!

I went out for a few minutes (it was freezing!!!!) and got these pictures. Beware, crazy ice photos to come- haha!

So as you can see it was a crazy, icy day!! Lol!!

By 11 am, Stephen was going stir crazy. I think when you are being told not to leave your house, something just makes you want to leave. So we got out and carefully drove to Cracker Barrel. We went the back way and there was no ice at all. We had a yummy breakfast!

After that, we decided to drive over to Clear Lake and see Steve and Nancy. They had the Beltway completely closed, so we drove the feeder road the whole way and there was no ice. Shelley and the boys came over and we hung out all afternoon and then went to dinner at Floyds.

Even though we were all disappointed there was no snow, we ended up having a great day!
