**SNOW**

Today was the first day it snowed in Charlotte since I moved here in May. Well it started to snow yesterday evening but when we woke up this morning there was so much snow we couldn't even see the ground. It snowed about 4 inches total. If you think that is not alot, let me tell you all my snow experiences in life.

1. When is was three it snowed 7 or 8 inches in Hilton Head, but I don't remember. It never snows in Hilton Head. My mom had to put plastic bags on my shoes because she didn't have any snow shoes for me.
2. My family and I went to Ohio for Christmas one year. I was hoping it would snow alot but it didn't. It snowed but only a little and you could still see the grass.
3. Ive been skiing once in high school but that snow was made by a machine.
4. This past Christmas when I went to the mountain house, there was snow on the ground but I didn't see it coming down. By the time I got there, it was mainly ice, but still the most I have ever seen.
5. yesterday and today!
I think I will be seeing snow more often now that I live up here. I like snow but only when I am looking at it from inside where I am warm. I don't like being cold.


River hates when it rains. For some reason he doesn't like walking in the wet grass. He absolutely loves water and swimming, but only goes out in the rain when he has to go bad. Knowing he doesn't like the rain, we assumed he wouldn't like the snow but he loves it. River and Hannah sprint around the yard and roll in the snow. We took them on a walk today in the snow and let them play in the back yard. They loved it!


We decided to go on an adventure out into the snow tonight and go to one of the restaurants that was participating in Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week is where a bunch of the nicer restaurants in Charlotte offer a three course meal for $30 per person. We went to Brio Tuscan Grille tonight with Michael and Rachel. It started to snow again while we were eating. Dinner was good and it was nice to catch up with them.
Two things that I didn't like about the snow today
1. Trying to scrap the ice off the car without an ice scraper so we could see to drive. (Chris did most of it)
2. We didn't get to go see our house today like we wanted. I hope the snow doesn't slow them down too much.
