playing in the snow.

We have had snow since Christmas.  It hasn't been much, and it melts each day, but for the last two mornings we've woken up to white snow covering the ground.  Yesterday, Clara begged to go out in the snow.  But we never made it outside to play.  So today, we made sure to get out there.  I wanted to see how she'd react to it.

So we walked in the yard in our boots first.  Then I picked up a snowball and showed her.  She had to hold it next, and then she dropped it.  Then I ate a little bit of snow and offered her some to eat too.  She couldn't believe what it was like when i touched it to her lips.  She spit and made sounds like she was completely disgusted!  It was hilarious.  Then, Clara and I got Gwen on the leash and wandered up and down our street a few times.  She loved it!  And I loved how she talked to Gwen.

"Gook Gwennie!  No!"  (Look Gwennie, snow!).  And if we walked and Gwen walked in the street for a moment, Clara had to remind Gwen that we don't walk in the street!  And if Gwen tangled her leash around us, Clara would giggle and say, "Gwennie!".  And Clara loved when Gwen got a little crazy and tugged a little on the leash and pulled her along.  It was a pretty fun time!  Not to mention the amazing dose of vitamin D we all got!  It felt great!

Saying, "Cheethe!"
