It felt pretty cold here last night, but I had no idea the mountains were already getting snow! From today's news:

Coloradans Awake To Dusting Of

Snow On High Peaks

DENVER -- An overnight storm has left a dusting of snow on the high mountain peaks after dumping hail and rain in some parts of Colorado.


National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Baker said that mountain snow isn't unusual for late August. He said the snow fell mostly above 13,000 feet and was more granular than the flaky snow that's common during winter and spring storms.

 Luckily it warmed up nicely down here on the plains, and the kids were able to enjoy their co-op class. The class was a combination of learning how to play chinese jumprope and playing in the "sprayground" at the park. 

As you can see it wasn't too cold for R to enjoy the water! She wasn't too excited about chinese jumprope, but I think the work of learning a new game just couldn't compete with the fun of the sprayground. She has her own chinese jumprope now though, so we can play with it at home too.
