Spring in Montana

What are the signs of spring? You may think of robin's, green grass, and daffodils. Here in Montana spring means more snow. We've been having flurries off and on, but no more than a light layer has stuck to the ground. There are still huge piles of slowly melting snow everywhere.
When the kids go outside, they come back in with muddy feet. The other day Isabelle slipped and fell in the mud. She was covered; there was even mud in her hair. Caleb loves to go outside, but then he always ends up very muddy... of course, that's probably part of the reason that he enjoys being outside so much.
Yesterday, we had planned to drive to Lewistown. We were going to spend the night, and attend the CMA church there. We met the pastor and his wife while we were doing our application process with the CMA. They are a really great couple, and were very encouraging to us during the long process.
However, early Saturday morning it started snowing. By the time that it stopped, we had about 6 inches on the ground. The roads started as snow packed and icy, and then went to emergency travel only. So we stayed here, and will try again next weekend.
The roads were clear enough for us to go to church this morning, and we stopped and took some pictures.
