Blowing Fun"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday morning, I woke up to see two feet of snow on the ground ( and the extra six inches floating through the air).\u00a0 It was taller then my pond, and had filled up the chicken run ( which has a roof over it), to prove the extent of the wind&#8217;s power of the previous night.\u00a0 It was all fun and good to look at but when time came to start to shovel the snow away&#8230;.\u00a0 Luckily, my dad has a snow blower, and it made the task at a little bit easier.\u00a0 I got the job of shoveling the front and back door, cleaning off all four cars, shoveling my Grandparents doorstep, chipping away icicles, shoveling out the chicken&#8217;s and shed door, cleaning out in front of shed no. 2 and chipping away at the ice in the chicken&#8217;s water!\u00a0 However, things went fairly smoothly, as we have a backhoe, and we were able to clear off the driveway, and the snow blower made paths to the chicken&#8217;s coop and shed, and from the back door, to the shed and front door.\u00a0 After lunch, we were pretty much okay, so I started to play with my sister.\u00a0 The paths were awesome for hiding in, and we were also able to find a packed down patch of snow that was quite tall, and pretended it was a pirate ship.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday,\u00a0 the day was even better.\u00a0 We played on our pirate ship again, and we had a battle to see who could stay on the pirate ship, without falling off (I&#8217;ll admit that I lost badly, since my sister could stand up and I couldn&#8217;t because I would fall through the snow)!\u00a0 Then we played leap-frog on the &#8220;ship&#8221;, but at the end of the pirate ship, I leaped over my sister and missed the ledge and fell into the tunnel, and took off the cliff of the ship (Note: The cliff: A huge ball of snow and ice, and it fell on me)!\u00a0 I then had to, at my sister&#8217;s urging, put the cliff back on the ship.\u00a0 The rest of our time out side was spent watching my dad as he went on the roof, that he was shoveling snow off of, and I explored a mountain range of snow that had been created due to the snow-plowing.\u00a0 Then we went to skating, (Upcoming post about this) and thus ended a great (but snowy) weekend (a little too snowy)!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_584\" style=\"width: 611px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
