First Snow

Yesterday was our first real snow. The kids were thrilled to get their boot, hats, mittens, and coats on and play on the deck. I mean they were really thrilled, like I would be with a new car or something. That's one of the best thing about kid's being able to experience those thrills again vicariously. It's not that I don't have those same peak emotions periodically, but it takes a little more to get me there. I have seen the snow before, for some reason I don't like playing it as much as I used to, and I certainly don't feel thrilled to see it. I can see the beauty in new fallen snow, but it's more of a mental experience.
