Snow day!

We had a snow day here in Houston last weekend.  If you're not familiar with Houston's climate, let me break it down for you: my parents' neighborhood brought in a snow machine on a 70-degree day, which made a small patch of snow in front of the splash pad where kids were taking off their clothes and running through (see background of picture).  Violet took to the snow quite quickly and started throwing snowballs at unsuspecting victims.

Charlie had a different opinion of the snow. Brandon had him touch it and he hated it so much that he managed to keep every part of his body off the ground like that scene in Mission Impossible.

 My dad thought it would be fun to take him on the sled.  Here's how that worked out:

 If you need a close-up of that face, here is is:

 After that we asked Charlie if he wanted to go on it again, and he shook his head and said "Nuh-uh!" Poor little guy wouldn't even look at my dad for several minutes after that.

But the kids were soon distracted by the park there, and everyone ended up having a great day.
