A Good Snow Fight.

Yet another fun thing to do in winter...

We have been having a bit of a cold spell, with the temperatures hovering on the wrong side of zero. Look, a winter must be cold. Of course warm clothes are a prerequisite.

Well, not for everyone. Friends of ours are here for a few weeks from South-Africa, and they came equipped for winter - a South-African one. Just throwing a jacket over, doesn't help here. The proper gear is needed...long johns and other unflattering, passion killer stuff ! But they have gamely taken it in their stride, with a smile to boot.

One of our English groups was here yesterday afternoon, and it was decided to have a little snow fight. Bob, being the adult, brave and silly, suggested that he would be one team and the three of them, another team. He should have known better. These boys have home advantage. They have been having snowball fights before they could even speak !

With glee, they agreed. Watching from a safe distance and taking photos was as much involvement I could muster, in this cold. It was fun to watch Bob get a barrage of snowballs from all directions. The boys let out a collective cheer, everytime Bob got hit. You know what boys are like. I think that Bob got one or two ' bulls eyes ' but he was no match for the boys. The shrieks of laughter and fun could be heard, and I am sure that when it snows in the future, Bob will be doing a snow fight...

Burgenland, a great place to live in...

Launching a good one.

Trying to dodge the snowballs is not as easy as it looks !
