The Crin: We're all [in the snow] together...

Saturday was a day marked on my calendar for a very long time .... along with Shelley, Reuben and several of the youth from Christchurch City, I was going to see Disney's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL ON ICE!!

The day arrived ... I wrapped up warmly and picked up Shell and Reubs for the big event of our week. Now I know I am a grown up, but when it started (despite cheesy American

announcer guy) ... I was flippin' excited!!! I tapped my toes, bopped my head, clapped in time with all the others ... and even thought ... if only I'd taken up ice skating ... (there are many reasons that didn't happen!)

And would you believe that in the intermission ... between Breaking Free and You are the Music in Me .... Shelley, Emma and I were all texted to be told it was snowing outside. Very exciting news for us northerners who had never lived in a place where it actually snowed before!!

But trust me, the moment we stepped outside the doors of the Westpac Arena, we were very much greeted with a temperature that had told us it was the truth. And there was snow on my car!! (Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera.)

Ever so slowly I drove out to Belfast to drop of Shelley and Reuben ... and it was a miracle keeping Reub in the car, let me tell you .... someone was very excited by the white stuff all over the trees, plants, cars ... and it only got heavier the closer we got to Belfast.

Alas, at my place, there was just a very heavy frost. Something about being too close to the ocean :( but I managed to snap some photos on the way to, and at, church the next morning (though it doesn't look half as impressive as it did the night before!) ....
