Snow Day in Las Vegas!!

Bet you didn't think we got snow in the desert, huh. 

Well, it's rare, and a few weeks ago we had a real snow day, where it was... well, sleeting.  It was cold and really, really wet.  (If you look super close, you'll see the streaks of snow captured by the camera as they came down)

Then, yesterday, we went sledding!  On snow!  Only this time, the snow was limited to one hill in town and it was 60 degrees and beautiful weather (this, I'm finding, is my kind of snow!!).  One day a year, our neighborhood association does a snow day, and the kids can sled down a hill at a nearby park on snow they bring in from... somewhere.  The kids had a blast and I was amazed at the turnout for a fun family event like this.  It reminded us of our home in Colorado, and we didn't have to endure the storm before we could enjoy the snow this time!  Win - Win.  :)

The only downside was the wait in line - it got up to about 20 minutes.  But, we didn't have to do any shoveling when we got home!  Since everywhere else in the nation is getting pounded with a huge storm, we didn't want to be totally left out in Vegas!
