It has snowed steadily for the past 4 days now & I think it is supposed to continue into tomorrow as well. The snow was nice and wet so it packed well. Payton made a snowman and check it out, it's almost as tall as her! This is the first snowman she's been able to make here, the snow is usually so dry it doesn't pack at all.

Random Randomness
I wanted to post something today, but really hadn't taken any photos lately around the house. So I turned to my cell phone for a few random photos to share.
Here's the clock tower at the University of Nebraska campus. It's been so cold lately, and a simply dreadful walk across campus. I'm sure it will be beautiful this Spring.
Last weekend we went to a mall in Omaha. I had been wanting to try this bubble tea place and Payton joined me.
I'm not sure that everyone knows exactly what bubble tea is, but it is a lightly sweetened, fruit flavored, tea beverage that is served cold with large tapioca balls (the black inside the drink in the photo above). You get a huge straw that is large enough to suck the tapioca balls up through.
Payton is NOT a fan, just the mentioning of "bubble tea" will make her gag now. Gregg didn't mind it, but didn't care for the tapioca. I thought the tapioca was a very interesting textural component, like a snack built right into your drink. If you are texture sensitive, this might not be the drink/snack for you. But I'm glad I tried it since I really love trying new foods of all types.

Payton had strawberry (I do not recommend), and I had coconut (which was really tasty).
