Well that was fun ...

Last night we -finally- got some snow. We really haven't had much for the year so far, so the potential of 6 inches was pretty nice.
Turns out ... we ended up with maybe 2 .. but, it's better than nothing.
So last night, around midnight I went and drug our little house guests ( I affectionately refer to them as "the Colombian boys", Paulo and Pipe to look at the snow. (they weren't sleeping .. as everyone around here knows ... the days now run from about 2 pm till 4 or 5 am. (little different .. lol) Anyway ...
They have never seen snow. Maybe pictures on TV or online .. but never in person. So what's the next logical thing to do with snow ...

Take the car out and have some fun with it.

I figured since they had never really dealt with snow before .. they certainly had never spent the evening doing "donuts" in a parking lot.
So I drove up to the closest big parking lot (Target) and they spent the next half hour, sliding and spinning out in the lot. (Don't worry, we were careful not to hit anything, and everyone had their seatbelts on .. just in case we did. lol

I have never seen anyone as excited about anything as they were about the snow. They were just in awe of everything that a snowfall brings.
The cold,the white, the beauty that you really can't describe
and
The absolute silence and calm of snow
