It snowed today! In Texas! And it actually stuck. Audrey got out of school early – which was just kind of funny to Scott and me. This just seemed like a typical July day for Rexburg, Idaho. Maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration – a typical May day.
Before Audrey got home, the rest of us were driving past a drainage pool and noticed the mail lady’s truck pulled up onto the side walk. I started looking around for her and noticed her walking along the edge with a lid to one of her mail bins and then I realized what she was doing. I watched her just long enough to see her sit down on the lid like it was a sled, but she was out of view before we could see her go down the hill. I guess snow in Texas brings out the kid in all of us, although, there really wasn’t enough snow to have any success sledding.
When Audrey got home, we had some fun playing in the snow. Audrey and Kate decided that Simon liked being in the snow so they started walking with him but kept getting faster and faster. Right after I took this picture, he went down to his knees and they just kept pulling him. He was soaked.
Audrey had this idea in her head that a snowball fight would be so much fun, but this snow was really, really, wet and heavy. Needless to say, the snowball fight was more fun in theory than in reality.
By the time we got around to building our snow girl, a lot of the snow had melted, so she was quite miniature… but still cute.
Our snow girl kept getting make overs: nose jobs, scarf changed to hula skirt. Audrey was an artist at work.
