Wednesday = snow and chocolate!!

This morning we headed up Mount Wellington and as promised it was 10 degrees colder up there (and it was only 13 degrees when we left Hobart). Tasha was very excited to see snow - not much but enough for her to play with. The wind chill factor was amazing up there and then just before we left............. it snowed! Yes the temperature dropped that bit more and the snow they had been promising arrived with perfect timing. The kids were so excited as neither of them had actually seen snow falling before. Had played in snow but never actually seen it fall.

Verdict: Its cold and its wet and it hurts (the wind was pretty strong so the snow wasnt really falling it was being blasted around). Would they like to see snow again: Definately!!
We got back in the car - gave a backpacker a lift back down the mountain. Poor girl had hiked up (she said it took about 3 hours) and was planning on hiking back down when the snow hit. We dropped her off in Hobart and went here.............................. In the words of a very wise woman - my glass is now neither half empty or half full but rather a glass and a half full!! We got to learn more about chocolate (did you know there is more to it than just the fact that it tastes good and makes me feel happy?) and do some taste tests. YUM YUM
