Snow Games

Every year for christmas the whole neighborhood hands out treats to all of the neighbors. This year the Packers did something much better. They sent out invitations to the whole neighborhood inviting us to join them in snow games. They own Bahama Bucks and brought the snow balls. The game in the pictures above are of the last game we all played. Everyone lined up on one side of the field and ran to the other as a few chosen threw not so soft snow balls at the ones running. When you got hit you joined in on the throwing. It was fun to watch. There were indeed some tears. People got hit in the face and yes, usually kids. Sid got hit in the ear. Sammy made it to the end. It was really funny, he pretty much skipped down the park.

These three pictures above show another game that they played. There were about 7 groups of kids sitting in a circle and one snow ball. The snow ball got passed around in the circle and when the buzzer went off the person holding it was out. They continued this game until there was only one player left. The little kids loved this one. They just had no idea what game was coming next. The Packers were smart to start off easy and with no pain involved.

In these three pictures they played a competitive game. Everyone had a partner and one snow ball. You would toss the snow ball back and forth and further apart as you go. The last group left without dropping the snow ball won. The Packer boys won. My boys decided that it was much funner and easier to just eat them. They were so excited to have snow in their hands. That happens but once a year. Literally!!

The kids going for their first snow ball!
