Where we live, it does not snow. Ever. So in order to see it, we must *go to* it. Today we headed out to a park that had some helicoptered in for a Snow Fest. It was such a delightful morning :) It was cold as Hades when we got there (not that that makes any sense since it's supposed to be hot in Hades, but I digress) and we were all wishing we had ear muffs and better winter gear. We actually did buy Tabitha another knit cap at one of the craft booths. There were two snow play areas set; one for 0-6 years and one for 7 and up. I'm glad they did that because the obnoxious level was very high in the older kid area. Tabitha didn't like the coldness of the snow and really just wanted to make a snow angel more than anything else. Mainly, we really need to drive up to the mountains for her to really "get" snow. This stuff was just packed ice, but Tabi still had fun. They also had a couple of sled runs. Tabitha screamed her head off the whole way down. She said it was fun but didn't want to do it again. They also had cheesy games set up but Tabitha loved playing all of them. They was a ring toss and a snowball toss and just things like that. The craft table rounded out the activities quite nicely. We shopped around in the craft area again before we left and picked up couple little things. I got a holiday bracelet that I had been wishing I bought when I went to the Harvest Festival, Tabitha got 2 ornaments, and Chris got a decoration to give to his mom.
We almost didn't go because Tabitha had been out so late last night and Chris worked really late, but I'm so glad we went. It's definitely going to become an annual tradition around here :)
