After 14 Years, Snow at Last!

.
.

For the first time in 14 years, Savannah Georgia had measurable snow.

.

Zoe had never seen snow and Naomi was a wee wittle baby when we left Salt Lake City.

.

So when the news said snow would be here at 3 PM, they were waiting and watching. As the weather person kept making the time later and later, my children were getting more and more impatient.

.

After dark Zoe would go out on the porch and yell, "Get on over here SNOW!!!"

.

And at last, around 7:30, it did.

.

Immediately, from the very first flake, my kids were outside a-hoopin' and a-hollerin'.

.

"Snow at last!! Snow at last!!!"
.

Nolan, who hadn't seen snow since elementary school, went back to his elementary school ways.

.

We are so ill prepared for snow here in Georgia, that we didn't have mittens enough to go around, so Rae had to settle on work gloves to make snow balls.

.

And make snow balls, they did!

Nolan so badly wanted a picture of him throwing a snow ball. I mean, he wanted the snow ball in air in the shot. After a million tries, we gave up. (stupid digital camera delays)

.

The kids didn't play in the grass, in hopes that over night lots more would accumulate and they would have all the more to play with the next morning.

.

Sadly there was more snow the night before than in the morning. They were out playing at 8 AM and so much had already melted.

.

Naomi and Zoe walked out in the snow and said, "It's crunchy, I didn't expect it to be so crunchy."

Oh yeah, I reckon they wouldn't have known that.

Then they dropped and gave me two.

Two snow angels, that is.

.

They didn't have long to build a snow girl. I am telling you, the snow was melting and fast!

Once there was a Snow Girl, Snow Girl, Snow Girl.

Once there was a Snow Girl, not that tall.

In the sun she melted, melted, melted.

In the sun she melted, small....

small......

small.
