Is it not interesting that most people use the word "extraordinaire" to describe something bigger than life. Like a larger than normal winter. While a bigger and colder and snowier winter would be considered extraordinary; a smaller, warmer, and wetter winter is also extra-ordinary. Thus making it Extraordinaire!
Even with a extra-warm, extra-rain, and extra small winter we did manage to fit in a little snow fun this year. Most of which was in December with the new snow, but a couple of events took place in spite of the lack of snow and cold. In fact, some were made more fun by the fact that we weren't freezing like crazy while participating.
Take snow tubing for example. I had never been tubing and so I was personally looking forward to getting some time in this winter. Thankfully the tubing parks make their own snow, much like God does, and we were able to enjoy a wonderfully warm day on a large hill with hardly any wind and wonderful friends.
The second event took place just this past week. By some miracle we were blessed with 2 inches of wet snow. Perfect for building a snowman with. Promptly following church the boys and Tyler went outside and built everything they could think of before all of the white wonder melted away.
So there you have it, even with a smaller than life winter, much fun can still be had. For crying out loud this Winter was definitely a little more than ordinary!

Umm...I don't remember getting 2 inches of snow last weekend. How in the world could we be so cheated, so few miles from you?? :)
I don't know, but I did notice that. When we went to church there was no snow there. Very odd, so we enjoyed it quickly, because it melted quite fast.
