Snow at Ford

Today was one of our coldest days yet! We enjoyed seeing the snow this morning. We took black paper out and caught snowflakes while it was snowing. It was so cool to see the different shapes. We read a book last week called Snowflake Bentley. He actually tried to save snowflakes and photographed them....over the years he was able to photograph enough to make a book. It was fun observing the snowflakes before they melted!!!
