Fun in the Snow!


by Amy

Last month it snowed! It was so fun! So, I took the kids down to play on the first afternoon. It was COLD!! And, since snow is pretty rare here, we don't have good snow gear. Our feet and hands were freezing, but not too cold to have a good snowball fight!

After about 10 minutes, Peter and Alex were done! They were frozen through and through! But, not my Savannah girl! She wanted to build a snowman. So, she and I found some untouched snow off the beaten path in our apartment complex, and went to work. Did you know that if you roll a snow ball, it really gets bigger - just like in "Charlie Brown Christmas!" (Being a Texas girl myself, I just assumed that couldn't really work - but it does!)

Our city handles snow about as well as Houston does. Everyone here is clueless! My friend actually saw city trucks out spraying water on the roads to help the snow melt..... Needless to say, we had several fun-filled days INside! Even though this snow was a result of the government's cloud seeding efforts, I'd love to see it again! It was great fun!
