Well I couldn't let it go without doing a page in here could I? I mean, when was the last time it ever snowed in Wellington down at ground level. It was the most magic thing to walk into the lounge and see the snow falling all around outside and the ground gradually getting whiter and whiter. The previous day to what we call the big snow day we were so excited, everyone came out of their houses and camera flashes were going off left, right and centre, the snow at this stage was melting as soon as it hit the ground, but none the less, it was snow and we were excited!!! I felt so sorry for Hayley because she was at work and missing out, I text her to tell her it was snowing and she and her workmates got to look out the rear store door so saw some of it. She was well rewarded the following day though as it just kept falling out the sky, everyone got out and played in it, even the dog who bounced around like a rabbit!
day one
at this point we discovered if you turned the flash on you got a better result!
day two...the real deal :)
and this of course bought out the inevitable....
it was everywhere...
and that was just a few of the photos, I miss it and wish it would come back but really, we had the perfect amount, just enough to be pretty and play with but not so much that it causes havoc when it melts, the rain that followed washed it away before it became one big slushy mess, we were very lucky in that we weren't one of the ones that lost power and the kids got the day off school due to it being closed.
16th August 2011....a day to remember :)
