Last night, Stu and I left Kenton and Katrina's house during a snow shower that was softly covering the trees, sidewalks, and roads and this morning we woke up to Noah texting Stu that it had kept up all night! We were so excited. I don't think that we have ever showered so fast!
We walked with Noah down to the Starbucks on 12th and Washington for some yummy hot chocolate and watched cars and trucks try to drive onto the 105. Very entertaining! This truck got stuck halfway up and had to slowly back down the hill.
After we got back to the house, Stu and I ran in a woke Oliver and Cinder up. It is Oliver's birthday today so we surprised him with a giant bucket of snow! He wasn't sure at first but soon was trying to tunnel into it! Cinder wasn't very into it but Oliver was having a blast. He didn't know what to think about it and would tunnel for a few minutes and then jump out and hop around, honking and trying to scratch an itch at the same time. He does that when he is excited. Haha.
Today, Stu and I will be celebrating our Christmas together since we will be driving up to Portland tomorrow and I will be flying to New Mexico in a few days. We have a tradition of making a yummy dinner together and opening presents! Of course, yesterday, when we should have gone to the store for our dinner fixings, we didn't. And since we didn't feel very safe driving on the snowy/icy streets today, we decided to walk to Safeway. I know! The whole way!!
13th Street!!
A very happy and friendly Squirrel!
We decided that we would go to the Dog in a Box behind Safeway for lunch because I love chili dogs! But after shopping and deciding not to get anything besides our Christmas dinner stuff since we aren't going to be in town very long, we realized that it was closed. So...we walked to the Bierstein. Which was closed. Then I deposited a check at the bank. Then we walked to the Eugene City Brewery because we knew that we didn't have anything to eat at home. It was closed. Then we walked to the bus station (Stu really had to pee) and then across the street to Pita Pit which seems to be the only thing open on this snowy day. All the while, I was carrying a backpack with canned veggies and potatoes in it. I know, I'm amazing.
It was definitely an adventure! Now I get to clean the house and do lots of laundry to get ready to go out of town. I hope that you guys all got to enjoy your SNOW DAY!
