One of the big selling points of Japan for the kids was that they would be able to see snow. We had been talking about snow for months. So when we arrived in Tokyo and did not see snow I was a bit disappointed to say the least. With the stress of moving I had not taken the time to study up on all the regions of Japan. I had just assumed that Tokyo would also be cold.
The next day we flew to Misawa. As we descended I was so thrilled to see all of the snow covered mountains. I was even more excited to see the snow in the valleys, on the buildings and covering the branches of all of the trees.
It was thrilling to see all of the snow as we drove to base. The kids couldn't stand not to jump in. I think it was our second day before we had a chance to play. But play we did. Marshall and Maddison made a snow Mickey Mouse. We had about three weeks of snow falls after we got here. I was so excited that we came when we did because soon after the snow was gone and will not return until the end of this year.
I am looking forward to the next snowfall though, probably as much as the kids.
