We spent the weekend at the lake, basking in the sun knowing that in a few days a cold front was coming in. We hoped and hoped and our dreams came true. It snowed in Texas!!! It started snowing at about 3 a.m. Friday morning and left about two inches of snow on the streets.
These conditions were way too extreme for our fellow Texans who cancelled school and told everyone to work from home. These guys wouldn't last a day in Utah's winter storms, or Virginia's for that matter. We benefited greatly from their overly cautious lifestyle and had ourselves a three day weekend!
Those two inches of snow created the perfect setting for some hooky bobbin with the scooter and boogie boards. It was VERY cold outside so we bundled up and headed out before the snow would melt (we heard it never lasts longer than a day).
We tried taking Sadie first but Jack felt left out and wanted to ride too. The three of them rode around the cul-de-sac and down the street over and over again until their poor little noses were red and their lips turned blue. There was no complaining when we told them it was time to go inside, and our friends were right...it melted in about three hours. This is my kind of snow storm. It sugar coats everything enough to have a little fun and then melts away before you get sick of it. No gray, slushy snow around these parts.
The best part of the story is the next day we were back at the lake again in our shorts and t-shirts. I love it here!!
