Fun in the sun and SNOW!

Ever since we first started talking about moving to SW Florida we knew we would all miss what little snow we were use to. Little did we know you can find 70 tons of snow on a 83 degree day in early December! Welcome to Snowfest.

Brandon was king of the 4-7 year old's snow mountain (you should see him throw a snowball)

KK loved sliding down...

...but she needed help up (yes I was the only adult playing in the snow)

While waiting in line to play in the snow KK pulled her pants legs up because she was hot. I just found that so funny that I had to take her picture.

So we waited in line for more than 1 1/2 hours to play in the snow for 5 min but we all agreed it was worth it and we can't wait for Snowfest 2009!

Because I know Racheal will ask... they bring in huge blocks of ice and put it through a chipper, then they make 3 huge fenced in "mountains" (0-3, 4-7, and 8+). It is all outdoors each year no matter what the temp is and you wait in very long lines to get five min of "snow time". But there is also a big snow themed fair/festival going on with rides, rock wall, etc.
