Feeling a bit cramped (seems like we have been inside for years--although I know it has not been that long since we were romping in the glow of an Indian Summer that compares to my childhood years), Will and I decided to go outside and take a walk.
As we started off the sun was out--and yes we could see it. We had blue sky above us. Salt Lake City is amazing when you can see the sky and the white capped mountains. All of that was great, but the big kicker was that we could actually feel the sun's warmth. We were DEFROSTING. Needless to say, it was wonderful.
Then....it snowed! Within minutes of our walk, it SNOWED! Light, fluffy snowflakes. Not too wet, but cold. Will was confused. I was confused!
WILL: "What is it?"
When I said snow--he got so angry.
WILL: "NO mama, what is it" (as he is pointing to the still blue sky).
Again I repeat: "It is snow."
What a sad, sad, day for a kid that loves to play outside, but who HATES the snow.
Weird that he does not like it, my others loved (still do) the snow. Maybe when he is older!
As for now, we will try to catch every minute (or even second as the case may be) to soak up the sun.
Waiting for Spring, when I can complain how HOT it is outside.

leslie..i'm right there with you! i hate telling porter that we can't go to the park because it's still COVERED IN SNOW! i'm sick of trying to find things to do indoors. i'm waiting so patiently for spring..but i don't know how much longer i can wait before i go CRAZY! :)
Oh, a boy after my own heart. I would trade the blistering heat for snow any day. I tried to get the boys to go on a walk the other day, because we've been so home bound lately, and they refused. I was so sad.
Just to rub it in, it rarely snows here and when it does it doesn't stick to the ground. We have had many 60 degree days so far this winter and we still have playgroup at the park most days. ;)
