Mt Etna Snow Day

Mt. Etna from the Car


Serious Snowman Making

The finished product


Me and my little snow angel



Hello readers!

This past Saturday we headed up to Mt. Etnea to play in the snow. A first for us here in Sicily. Figured we better do it this season, especially since we are slated to head back to the south in a few short months. That gets a "yay" for heading to the states, but a "nay" for going back to the south. I don't like to be hot.

Anyway, it was a great day of sunshine. The mountain was still covered with the white powder. Jacob had a blast making snowballs and a snowman. Well, sorta. Come to find out, the snow here is weird. Not really the proper cosistency to make a form of any kind, but still fun! Playing in the snow again instantly brought me back to my childhood memories of playing in the snow in Vermont.

We finished off the day with a trip to the Italian Grocery store for some yummy, fattening foods for dinner and vino. When we got home, I treated Jacob to hot cocoa. The homemade kind, not powdered. He loved it! Enjoy the pics!
