Snow Day

Gracie woke up to a great surprise this morning--a blanket of snow! We weren't expecting the snow until tonight, but that is the way the weather happens in our part of the world.

The kids were out of school today, despite that it was maybe 2 inches of snow on the ground. But, better safe than sorry.

Around noon I bundled up Gracie and took her out to "play" for a while. There wasn't much snow to play with since it was melting as soon as it hit the pavement. But, we found some small clumps here and there, enough to make a very small snowman, and a snow dog.

The flurries continued to fall as we played outside. Gracie even tried to catch some on her tongue. We took a chilly walk around the parking lot to sneak a peek at the animals behind our building. We watched the cows eat, and we wandered around some more. After several super splashes in the slushy mush our fingers started to freeze, so we went inside to warm up.

I think Gracie liked the warming up part the best, as we shared hot chocolate. I think she is beginning to like "snow days."
