when the Ugandans and Taiwanese gal meet snow

First reaction from Philip: "Huh?"

Patience: "SNOW! It is funny! It is cold! I can eat it?"

Patu didn't say this, but I'm pretty sure she was thinking, "I'm not sure what this is, but everyone else is excited, so it must be good!"

Zoe, who has been talking more and more lately, said, "Woah. Mom. Woah."

They experienced it with ALL their senses.

It's a good thing our first two offspring were there to vouch for snow.

Jocelyn assured them, "Everyone! I know this is really cold, but it's really, really fun too!"

Robbie's encouragement gave Philip the confidence to step outside.

Where he promptly become the jokester we all know and love.

Oh, these wacky and wonderful children o' mine!

{Disclaimer for the grandmothers: We do have proper snow gear for most of them, but they didn't want to trouble themselves with the time to suit up. No one has frostbite. Also, I promise Zoe wasn't outside in bare feet for long.}
