Snow

As you all know,

the kids think that when it is 70 degrees out they need a jacket.

We are use to the sunshine and the warmth, not the cold.

Matt and I thought they would enjoy seeing real snow.

So we took a mini-vacation to Flagstaff.

As soon as we began to see snow on the ground they wanted Matt

to pull the car over so they could play in it.

Patchy ground cover led to squeals, pointing, and screaming "look, I see snow!"

We finally got to Flagstaff and decided to have lunch first.

The fact that there was snow in the parking lot

was a source of amazement.

They could not figure out why it was EVERYWHERE.

After lunch we drove to a snowplay area.

This of course took forever as we waited

in line after line of cars looking for somewhere to park.

Finally we got to play in the snow.

The kids loved it!

Isie of course decided it was a buffet

and ate as much snow as she possibly could

whenever Matt or I were not directly holding onto her.

Pete wanted to build a snowman.

Unfortunately the snow would not cooperate

but he had fun making his "snow mountain".

They also enjoyed sledding

and thought it was hysterical that snow was so hard to walk in.

Overall, I think Pete had the best time

but the rest of us enjoyed it too!
