Snow in Texas

Last week we were hit with a big snowstorm (big by Dallas standards anyway). It snowed all day and left us with about 8 inches on our lawn. As soon as Mia saw the snow she wanted to go out and play. We don't have the right gear for snow so our play time was pretty short but she and Crew loved every minute of it. We made a snow man but then decided to make a slide which then turned into the highest mound we could manage. The kids' favorite part was splashing in a puddle of melting snow. Because snow is such a rare thing in our area, everyone with kids was outside playing and making snowmen. It was really fun to look down the street and see all the families and all the kids outside playing. Even the Bank had a snowman - there were snowmen everywhere.

You can imagine how long Crew's little sweater gloves and Mia's tennis shoes lasted in that puddle.
