Back to Spesbach!

Today we woke up to a little surprise...SNOW! My dad hates the snow but my mom and I love it. We decided to go for a walk through the paths in Spesbach and take pictures. We lived in Spesbach for most of our time in Germany. We like the trails there better than the ones we have here in Hutschenhausen. It was so fun going back to this place after so long. These are the fields I grew up running around in with friends all summer and the lake were we used to catch tadpoles and frogs. I miss those days times a million...but at the same time, I'm kind of glad they're over : )

A Walk in the Snow

It started snowing yesterday afternoon and I hoped that it would stick around until this morning. I wanted to get some pictures of it before it all melted! It never snows enough here and the snow we do get melts way too fast. It's funny to see the children trying to make snowmen out of a half inch of powdered snow.

I woke up early and bundled up. My dog and I made our way up to the farm fields. He had a tennis ball and I had my dad's camera. We were prepared :)

Oh, Snow.

Winter has officially made its way to Idaho. I best get used to the slipping and sliding. I can't remember ever having as much trouble as I am now walking on the snow. I have a hard enough time trying to stay upright without the ice and slush. It has snowed for the last two saturdays. Doesn't sound like much of a problem since there's no classes on Saturdays, right? Wrong. I have a test in my DNA class every weekend until Thanksgiving break. The first saturday I was dumb and waited for the snow to stop before going out. The snow was all packed down and slippery the whole way to campus. The next saturday, thinking that I learned my lesson from the past saturday, I left the apartment as soon as possible....which meant mid-blizzard. Needless to say, I was covered in snow from head to toe after that test. Pictures were taken. It was lovely. I'm told that I need to get used to this crazy weather because it's only going to get worse from this point on. Yay.

Walking home in a blizzard. Good times :/
