Gabe's 69er ... Yeah.

Snowday
- Gabe Thexton

There were seven of them. They exhausted the snow from four driveways and six yards. They exhausted themselves. Four real mugs and three improvised from heavy plastic cups were filled with steaming hot chocolate. Marshmallows replaced snowballs. The dogs had their fill, threw up, and at mothers insistence the marshmallows went only into human mouthes and human mugs. This is a snow day, this is winter at it's best.

One of the great childhood memories - the snow day.
