snow machines

The boys were sooo excited to see the snow this year.  They always talk about having a snow day.  Sadly, it never snows where we live, and so the only exposure they have had to snow has been limited to a few days a few times a year.  Regardless, they were so happy to play in the snow and have a few snow days in Idaho Falls.  The day after Christmas my dad and Matt brought out the snow machines.  The boys were a little leery of getting on them, because they were afraid of going too fast--at first.  Once they got to go for a little ride up and down the street they were loving it.  Unfortunatley, they boys weren't going to get to go up to the mountains with my dad and Matt, but they were able to ride up and down the street, which is perfectly normal in Idaho.  : )  I remember when I was in high school, there were days when it was super snowy and people would ride four-wheelers and snow machines to school--at least the parents would take the kids on them.  It really only happened a few times, but nobody would think twice about it.
