Pieces of clouds

I'm a little late in posting this and I apologize. Last month, Atlanta had two snow falls which is amazing considering it hasn't snowed in years (at least that's what it seems like to me). Typically it snows every other year in Atlanta, but twice in one year, wow! Of course the snow didn't stick around very long.

When it first started snowing, Colin was watching it come down and said, "I think it's just pieces of clouds." He wanted to go play in it so bad, but we had to take Dad to the airport after dinner for his trip to Austin. It was so pretty, all these big huge snowflakes coming down. As soon as we got back from the airport, Colin and Nathan didn't even go inside the house. They just went straight to the backyard to frolick in the snow. Nathan didn't last long and was inside getting warm in 15 minutes, but Colin stayed out there until it was dark and time to go to bed. These are the pictures of that evening:



As a side note, because of all the snow and ice on the planes, Dad waited on the plane 8 hours for it to be de-iced. Then the crew ran out of time, and they cancelled the flight. He ended up not going to Austin at all.

The second time it snowed it was 3 days later. This time the snow came earlier in the day, so it wasn't so dark. They had all day to play. Colin spent a lot of the time collecting the snow in a big bucket.
