Snow Day

We had an unexpected, and unnecessary, snow day today.  There was very little snow out, but the district cancelled school.  Which I wasn't thrilled about.  We had to make up so many school days last year that it was almost the end of June before we got out of school for the summer, and if we can avoid that this year, I'd be one happy mama.

Kayden, on the other hand, was ecstatic about the snow day today.  He doesn't fully understand that we make those days up at the end of the year!  Our district doesn't build snow days into the calendar, like some other districts do, which means they get tacked on to the end of the school year.

Anyway, we got out there before the snow melted and had a little fun in the slush.  The snow was less like powder and more like a home made snow cone.  Instead of flakes, they were little pellets of ice.  Made for an interesting time trying to make a snowball, but we managed OK.

It warmed up quite a bit while we were playing and you could hear the snow falling off the trees and branches and hitting the ground.
