SNOW!

When we found out we were moving to Germany, Bavaria in particular, we braced ourselves for snow. LOTS of snow!  Last winter from October until March there was at least 3 feet of snow on the ground.  So we bought snow gear.  I don't mean, just a little, we were/are prepared for a blizzard.  So of course, this winter has been the driest winter in 40 years in Bavaria.  Up until today, we haven't had more than an inch or two at one time.  Don't get me wrong, we have had snow, but nothing that either amounted to anything or stayed for any length of time.  So when it started to snow yesterday, nobody really got excited.  Well,  I woke up to the sound of John and the neighbor shoveling snow in the driveway.  Over night we had gotten about 6 inches of snow, which is MUCH more than we have had.  So out came the snow gear!  We spent the day playing in the snow.  Parker and Mason LOVED every minute of it!
