Oh, the life of a kid!

This past weekend I was lucky enough to have my four little cousins come in and visit me! For the entire week before coming down I had heard about how excited my cousin Sarah was to come down and have it snow! They live in Mesa so they dont see a lot of snow! So they get down on saturday afternoon and to her dismay it doesnt snow... She goes to bed sad and disappointed about no snow. On sunday we wake up and the sky is all cloudy, I kept telling her, "Sarah, maybe today it will snow!" Finally after church while we are getting ready to eat dinner it starts to snow! Of course she is so excited she grabs her coat and shoes and heads outside to play in the snow! While I was watching her endure the cold, running around outside with her tongue sticking out trying to catch snowflakes on it all I could think about was when I used to do that! Then I started to think about why did I stop? Was it because it is too "childish" to run around outside in the freezing cold catching snowflakes on your tongue? Children are so adventurous and willing to do anything if they have their minds set! Where did my adventurous spirit go? My years of having fun and living in a spur of the moment, are almost to an end! I am almost ready to enter the adult world! So my advice to you is... next time it snows, run around outside with your tongue out trying to catch snowflakes!
