We played in the SNOW

and it is MAY 24th!

I was inspired by my neighbor Alana.

Malachi was napping, Aimi Lark kept asking to go SKEEDING (skiing) so I figured why not!?

I put them in their warmest clothes (that barely still fit) that they had in their drawers.

I packed away their snow/winter clothes months ago.

They wore their adorable hats made by their Aunt Audrey.  

I love the hats she makes, love them!

Aimi Lark not liking the snow in her face (like her mother) and Mali Su holding her hands out to take it all in.

We made hand prints and footprints, not snow angels though, it was too wet for that and we were not wearing the right attire for such an activity as snow angels.

I saw Mali Su scooping up snowballs with her mittens.  She kept sweetly showing them to me.

"Look! (giggle)"

I feel like this was Mali Su's first time to ever truly enjoy the snow. 

She then started tasting her snowballs she would scoop.

"mmm, it tastes good" she would cutely say as she licked away.

Aimi Lark shivered and told me they tasted cold and then asked again to go skeeding.

Good thing Tahoe will be only a few hours away so we can take this girl skiing when we move to CA.

I was finally able to bribe Aimi Lark inside with the allure of "hot chocolate."  I know she has no idea what hot chocolate actually is but it has the word CHOCOLATE in it so it has to be good.

Mali Su was not bribeable.  She had to stop, scoop up, and taste about 3 more snowballs on her way to the house.  

Each taste she once again told me, "mmm, tastes good!!"

This snow 

(even though it is killing my plants) 

made me a happy woman today.

It was a sentimental experience on many levels.

Provo is where I experienced my first snow.

Provo is where my children are experiencing their first snow.

This is likely to be our last snow in Provo...

Thanks Provo for all the Winter memories.

I'm looking forward to one last summer full of memories with you.
