We made a special drive down to Pasadena this evening for the tree-lighting ceremony in Old Pasadena. There was also one street closed off to traffic so that they could put snow on the ground for kids to play in. It is actually already snowing in parts of the US, but Southern California is quite deprived in this respect.
All bundled up in the car, ready to go.
So, it was J and E's introduction to snow. And here are a few things J learnt today:
- Snow is like ice.
- Snow is very cold.
- No matter how much he tells Mom and Dad to make the snow warm, there's nothing they can do to help.
After his initial hesitation, he really got into the whole snowball fight thing, hurling whatever handfuls of snow he could, in whichever direction he could. One in particular came hurtling toward me, and cut my lip! J was all "I got you, Mom!", although he was also suitably apologetic when he heard that I cut my lip.
E was a little bewildered; she did not like the slipping and sliding on the ice, and wanted to be carried most of the time.
There were a couple of stressed-looking reindeer.
The Christmas tree, after it had been lit.
