Snow Day!

Although we live in a pretty cold place, we do not get a lot of precipitation during the winter. Therefore when it actually snows it is a big deal, and the city is never prepared for it. It shuts down like all small towns in Texas do when it snows. Today I saw men trying to scrape the ice off of the road with shovels. I though, "yeah that will do it," but then I remembered in a city of 10 million if enough people head outside with their shovels, then it really will do it!

All that to say, it snowed two evenings ago. Since AB likes to get up at 7am, we decided to go out into the snow before everyone else did. My dad would have been proud (remember Disney World, Six Flags, Sea World, snow skiing vacations...?), we were outside by 8am. The snow was still falling, and she did not like getting it in her eyes, so it was an adventure getting her to even look up. She prefered to keep her eyes looking down or closed. I was still able to get one really good shot then we immediately went back inside. All together we were outside maybe 5 minutes. It was really cold!
