SNOW DAY!!

I am an Arizona girl through and through (the stereotypical, desert and cactus kind). This was offically the 3rd time in my entire life I've ever seen the snow. And I do mean SEEN. Offically the 1st time I've ever played in it!! A little crazy I know, but if you knew how much my parents hate cold weather you'd understand. Seriously, my mom wears a winter coat whenever the temperatures drop below 70 and my dad won't even go outside unless it's absolutely necessary.
The fun begins...
Scott making a snow angel
The Snowman!
Scott lovin it!
Ben not so much.
He's sweet, but was hating the cold.
Who could blame him? He kept sinking.
My Bird.Me loving it!
Two tards in a pod... so in love.
Bird's truck's first snow trip. Check out the front bumper.
About an inch of snow fell in the hour we were there!

So this was our first family trip to see and play in the snow.... it wasn't really complete because Zac didn't come with us for obvious reasons (flippin freezing!), but it was super fun! Ben didn't really like it though, he kept following me around saying "cold mommy, cold mommy" until I'd pick him up. And whenever I'd put him down he'd cry about how cold it was. Plus he refused to wear the mittens he had, so I had to walk around holding him with my coat unzipped so he could put his little arms around me to keep them warm. Then it started snowing more and he started freaking out about it getting on his face, so I put him in the truck. He played DJ for us from that point on and seemed to have just as much fun as the rest of us. He'd look at us from the driver's seat and smile while he pretended to drive. There was about a foot of fresh snow on the ground, but it looked like there was 4 or 5 feet because of the giant block of ice under us! Scott had the time of his life! He ran around slipping and sliding all over, and laughing when he'd fall on his butt! He was covered from head to toe in snow and never once complained about it being cold. He loved catching the snowflakes on his tongue and eating the snow. Me and Bird has a little snowball fight, basically he threw a couple when my back was turned and I'd turn around right as they hit me in the face, unexpecting as I was. That happened twice before I started yelling because it stung so bad. Then we decided it was time to go, we get in the truck, strip off the layers of clothes, shoes and all, except me, I left my shoes on. Bird goes to turn the truck around and has to do the forward, reverse thing a few times because the truck is gigantic, on the 2nd time be ran into the ice along the side of the road, after he got completely turned around he asked me to get out to check on his bumper. I got out and it ended up just being his trailer hitch had a huge block of ice on it, so as I'm getting back in the truck I grabbed a handful of snow and chucked it at him! Yep! I got him right in the face. It was pretty sweet if I do say so myself! So that was our snow day!!! And I had a blast!
