media gallery / 2002 / christmas in victoria (snow)

oak bay town hall had shipped in snow for the day so the kids could play in it [this had always been a dream of mine - snow without the cold!] we arrived 15 minutes after it started, by which time it was more of an ice hill. aly and toby were both a little unsure of the slippery stuff but aly warmed to the idea after building a miniature snowman with daddy and throwing a snowball or two around!
