A Magical Day.

 Victoria and the southern states have had an unexpected blast of severe storms and cold weather but we'd planned a family day out to celebrate our wonderful son-in law's birthday so we decided to go for our planned drive.
   Imagine our surprise to find freshly falling snow and introducing young Jake to making his first snowballs.
 Father and son had a brief but fun time in the snow.
 Jake was reluctant to touch the snow at first but it wasn't cold.
 We were only an hour or so from home and it was a new area for us to see as we haven't had much time to explore yet. We were heading for tye Ada tree, the largest tree in Vic, but didn't make it as baby Aidan was due for a feed and travel was slower due to the bad weather.
 It was raining heavily until we reached the snow and it was magical to be driving through falling snow- a new experience for us.
 We finished with a burger lunch at the Powelly Pub and can highly recommend them for a great meal in a pleasant location and a heavenly roaring fire. The staff were even kind enough to supply Jake with colouring book, stickers and crayons, which kept him entertained while Aidan was fed and had some playtime.
We drove home into sunshine and we were thrilled with our unexpected day in the snow and we'll go back when the weather's better to see the Ada tree. Family time is always special whatever we do and today has left us with many lovely memories.
Hugs, Jan Mac

The smell of fresh snow is unique, and I hope little Jake will remember it together with the feel of the snow, and how all sounds are softened with it.

Great photos. I have some lovely photos of our granddaughter aged about 3 making a snowman. Very precious memories as these pictures will be for you.
