The Clinate Change?

It can’t be...

Mom?! Dad?!

Is that? Could it be?

No way!!!



I can’t believe it! 

This is real life!

And this is SNOW in Paradise!

You see it?!

Real snow!!!

“Mom, it tastes like soap.”

Well, real or fake, soap or no soap, out kids got the surprise of the wintertime witnessing what appreared to be snow in Florida for the very first time. They were shocked and loved the idea of it all - something we hope to give more to them as the years go on in the form of winter snow trips and mountain log cabin vacations. Until then, we celebrate the cool weather as best we can, and that means sometimes driving 45 minutes south to see the fake snow show on Christmas Eve’s Eve!!

Happy parents seeing happy children. They’re such a blessing to us!

Not far down the street from the snow show is a place called “Sandi Land.” A south Florida winter wonderland oasis, complete with a 35 foot, 700-ton sand tree castle. 

I mean it. ALL sand. 

Nothing holding it up but itself!

How cool is that?! She’s one of a kind, that’s for sure!!

The kids got to play in the sand and decorate/clothe their own giant horizontal snowman while enjoying the light and music show, put on by Sandi Tree. 

We had the best time and loved spending time doing such special things together. Thank you, Daddy. 

Merry Christmas from the Conleys!

(Just about the only Christmas card photo I have this year. Sorry.)
