today's fun

Another day off = another day to get stuff done and have fun in the snow.

First we rearranged the living room.

Then I met some friends for a game of "capture the scarf" but before it started I made my first snowman ever. He has a mustache.

Looks like I had some competition. These were about 8 and 9 feet tall!

Let the snowball throwing begin.

Here's a video of capture the scarf. It was a lot more intense than it looks here. Basically the objective is to capture the other team's scarf which is attached to a sign and to get it back to your base but if you get hit by a snowball at any point you have to tag the base before you can play again. It was exhausting - especially running through a big snowbank to get to the base - anda lot of fun.


Then we ran into a law school classmate of mine who built this igloo with some friends using a cake pan. It took them 3 hours!

It was really cool inside.


Then we went sledding.

Eric and Brad about to race.

First of all, I love how all you young adults have completely converted to kids at recess in this snow. Secondly, I can't believe you have JUST started to experience sledding and snowmen. Did you never have snow as a kid?

No we never had snow in Charleston. The only place I experienced snow prior to this was when we went skiing and there I was skiing not building snow men or throwing snowballs. And you're right that we were hanging out with a bunch of 10-year-olds for the sledding part and acting like kids all day.

I can't believe D.C. got so much snow! Wild.

I know! It's a ton. By the way, I just caught up on your blog and it's great! Can't believe you went to MJ's memorial during the bar review ;-)

Are they sledding down stairs?! Ouch! Malcolm X is looking good!

Yep, down icy stairs that dead end in a brick wall. I only went done once and thankfully came out with my life.
