Snow City

The city streets are thawing in our area, and the excitement of the snowfall has subsided. But we will never forget the Snowfall of February 2010.  While many of our neighbors were cursing the city, the mayor, and the snow, the children found an immediate opportunity to become snow engineers.  After getting over my own cold-phobia, we suited up to go out and experience  “snow-mageddon” for ourselves.   I have to admit, seeing the snow nearly cover Iyana, and up to Ania’s waist was amazing.  I have never seen snow like that in my life.  Unfortunately the cord to my video camera broke, so I can’t show you until one of my next posts.   Ania decided to dig a path 30 feet to a tree covered cove, Jalaw tried to make a snow house,  Iyana dug snow ditches, and Jahril created a series of snow tunnels that led to a large snow cave.  Judah was more reserved and enjoyed putting on all of the snow gear more than the idea of touching snow.  As for me, after 10 minutes, I called retreat, and found a comfy chair inside to sit and watch the children create their snow city.
