Snow Without the Snow Fall

I don’t know if many of you will recall our family outing to the snow last year. To jog your memories, I have included a link to the post describing our abominable experience.

This year, we had a much milder snow day experience, thank you Legoland. I didn’t expect there to be snow when we arrived, but it’s Christmas and in Southern CA, snow is a novelty, so why not at a theme park. It was the perfect amount, just enough to make snow balls and do a little sledding, for about 15 minutes, which is about how long my kids last in the snow anyway.

Now of course, I can’t let my kids think that snow comes from Legos, so at some point this year we’ll go for a real snow day in the mountains. But for the week before Christmas, an impromptu romp in the cold white stuff with Grandma and Grandpa was fun enough for the moment.
