SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

We woke this morning to our first snow covered vista. We truely looked like tourists (as waking to snow is so novel for us) we had the camera out in great excitment and the kids were fighting over who could scrap the snow off the car. The kids couldnt believe it, and ofcourse the next thought was "will we have school today?" and then Sharon thought "Oh No if there is school, I will have to drive in it!". Luckily all schools were open and Sharon managed the cross country snowy drive, the only problem was that Sharon couldn't get the car back up the driveway as it kept sliding on the ice so opted for parking it on the road before she embarrassed herself any further. Grant said for the first time in his life he ran a rugby training in the snow. It was a great day. The kids loved it at school, P had snow fights with his friends and Ngahuia and her class made a snowman. The snow was so soft and powdery. Predictions are we may wake to more tomorrow morning.
