A Texas Snow Person
I arrived home to my daughter bouncing up and down at the door like an expectant puppy that's thrilled you are home... and needs to go out. She quickly explained that the reason the grass was white is because it had just snowed and that she was instructed to wait for me to get home before she could go out to make snow people.
How could I say no? It's Texas, we don't get to see snow very often. We had been making plans to go to the Northwest so that she could experience snow. When it snowed and my little one wanted to stay up until midnight making 8" snow friends, the only reasonable answer was, "Of course!".
Quick, wake up! Your snow people made it through the night!
She skuttered out to find her newly created friends -- slightly sweaty, but still recognizable.
Because it's #Texas, this was the scene by 8:30am.
I think we'll start planning that trip to the Northwest again.
Ah, I'm so happy to see that someone documented this rare snowy occasion in Austin. Your daughter's snow person is adorable. Good news: This gem of a post was discovered by the OCD Team!
