Snow!

While Cali, Colombia enjoyed some temps in the 80s today, our little Colombiana got to experience her first snow fall. This is a rare treat for our area in the deep South (but not unheard of). I can't say that Luisa loved it, but then I'm not too fond of the cold, wet stuff myself. It's nice to have it for an afternoon, though. And hot chocolate after playing in it is always welcome.

It started falling while we are at a friends' house playing, so we ventured out with the kiddos to let them see some fall.  No accumulation quite yet.

 

 

 

We came home for nap, and then the snow really began to fall.  We got a couple of inches while they slept, and they awoke to find Daddy home and ready to play outside.

She took a few hits...

but gave as good as she got.

"I want a snowball, too!"

We finally convinced her to get down and play in it.

 

 

And, just for kicks, a look back at the last time we had snow here (February 2010):
