We took a trip up to Illinois the day after the winter storm moved through. Unfortunately, (for the kids) where we were staying didn't get any snow. So hopes of building their first snowmen and having their first snowball fights were dashed. However, on the way home we stopped at a rest area and let them have a taste of the wintery white mix of snow and wind. Needless to say they were quite happy to frolic in the snow for about 20 minutes.
