Snow is Awesome!

THE SNOW WAS AWESOME, AMAZING, ASTOUNDING EVEN!

Warning:  Photo overload!

We had such a delightful time today at Mount St Gwinear.  We stopped at Erica and hired a toboggan and then set off for the half hour trip to the snow.  As we drove we prayed not only that we would see snow, but that it might snow while we were there.  The reports had not been promising but we were trusting that this was a good time for us.  We were not disappointed.

And what do you know, the snow came falling down!  Little flakes of delicate white ice confection.  Thank you God.  You should have heard us.  We were so excited, I tell you it was just like Christmas.

We spent about 2 hours on the mountain, tobogganing, throwing snowballs, eating snow, a small hike through the bush,  and making snow angels.  So now, when we are sweltering away in 45C Summer heat in Longreach, we can look back these photos and remember the beauty, the cold and the fun of it all.
