A few weeks ago a friend and I went into town on a very wet and miserable day. It was midwinter and someone had the idea of trucking in some snow and have some fun. There was also a serious message with this – it was part of an anti-bullying campaign. The idea was to encourage young people, who probably have never seen any snow to come along and have some great fun in the snow.
The younger children didn’t know what to make of snow. Me, I was content to stand back and watch them play. I am not a big fan of snow after living in Austria for 11 years.
But the main thing is that the children were able to enjoy themselves.

Thanks for visiting.
So much fun:) Need gloves. LOL It always amazes me when I find that people have never seen snow. I’m so happy everyone had fun. Love the pictures.

I’m puzzled as to why children wouldn’t have seen snow in New Zealand, where there’s plenty of snow every winter (and I even saw a little on the mountains in the summer). Is your location too far north to get much snow?

I live on the East Coast of the North island. Our climate is very temperate. Most of the snow falls on the Central Plateau and along the ranges. The majority of the children here in Hastings would never get the opportunity to go to the ski fields and feel the snow.

Maybe next time instead of bringing some snow to the children they can take the children someplace where there’s snow in its natural setting.

Looks like fun! I work at a University and they actually did something similar for the college students last year 😛 Great shots. Thanks for sharing.
