Catching Snowflakes

This afternoon, it started to snow! It came down pretty consistently for over an hour, and we decided at one point to bundle up and go out in it. The last time the kids attempted to catch snowflakes on their tongues, it was hilariously bad. They mostly just ran around the yard, identifying flakes and then chasing after them, never actually making contact. Today, though, Nikos and I discussed proper flake-catching technique ahead of time. I told him to stand still, look up, stick out his tongue, and wait. And he did, much to our amusement!


Maya was still a little wild child, but she's a cute one, at least! :)

At any rate, Nikos was so proud that he was actually able to taste a snowflake. When asked what it tasted like, he said. "Like a... a... a monster! (insert giggles)" Silly kid. And I'm not sure whether or not Maya actually tasted any snow, but she claims that she did. And, according to her, "It tastes kinda like SNOW!" That's a safe answer, ha! Still, we had fun!
