The kids are absolutely ecstatic! Jay is NOT! We awoke to 4+ inches of white, wet SNOW this morning. We were supposed to be avoiding the white stuff! Did I mention we are in Southern California? S-O-U-T-H-E-R-N California…only 30 short miles from Palm Springs. When we left Arizona yesterday it was +25 and the day before we were sitting by a pool in Phoenix with Cory and Cherie, Robert and Tanja getting sunburned. The heat and the suntan lotion are now fond and distant memories. We thought we would run into snow along our trip somewhere. In the Maritimes, there was the possibility of snow…New Hampshire had a chance of snow, but we did not think it would come down upon us in California.
As I type, the kids are outside (in the small amount of winter clothing we packed) building an Igloo. After we pointed out that there were perpetuating the stereotype that Canadians live in Igloos-they are now calling it a “Snow Fort”, but still building. Despite Jay’s disappointment and the very real possibility that the power could go out in our campground and the water lines could freeze, there is warmth that comes from seeing the kids playing in the snow. Ahhhh, yes that is why we are Canadians… Albertans to be exact. There are wonderful memories to be made in the snow. Jay’s thoughts on the situation: “Our kids are crazy”.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Love, The Hohn’s
p.s. Happy Birthday to Miss Madison!
p.s.s. The forecast says it is supposed to be +23 here today…what’s up with that???
