'Snow' in Boca

'Snow' in Boca, originally uploaded by jckirner.

School's out for a couple of weeks. Weather has backed off from sweltering to cool-for-us 60's with bright skies and breezes.

Local county park hosted Winter Solstice activities - 'snow' dumps in two piles for big kids and little kids, face painting, Santa visits, marshmallow roasting, dreidel games, sack races, cookie decorating.

Kids came away with surprisingly wet clothes (Florida kids - what can I say - it didn't sink in that 'snow' would make them wet), faces painted, and only one bloody nose (snow ball in face is funny in cartoons - in reality it can hurt!!), a pile of chocolate gilt and then hot chocolate by the lake.
