Snow in Hilton Head!?

Today was SNOW DAY, in Hilton Head. Hargray, a local company, puts on this event every year and this is the 4th one, they have done so far. But for me, it was a first.

What they do at this event, is they bring these trucks of snow in and spray snow into one area, where kids can go and make snow angels...really, they made snowballs and decided to beat each other down with them. To them, it was fun. To me, it was something extra to dodge.

Needless to say, I got a ton of great photos out of the day. Its a shame, that it doesn't normally snow here in Hilton Head, cause if so, I'm sure these kids would not have as much fun. I guess it is an amazement for people who don't normally get it. But most of the families that live here, mostly moved here to get away from it.

I don't know if I would consider the above image good or great...maybe okay, but it was a funny moment. They would lay the snow down in sessions, so everybody going in could enjoy fresh snow. At the end of one session, this grandfather thought it would be a blast to drag his grandchild through the snow. The grandfather, thought it was funny...the grand child, not so much. You could hear the grandfather laughing, while the child was screaming blood murder.

All in all, it was a great moment.

Besides the snow, they also had carinval games set up and small blow up slides and trampolines, for the kids to play on. It was awesome to catch all these kids having fun and see some of them (like the kid above), show off to his friends and family.

The other highlight was the local DJ putting on games and songs for the kids to get down to. It was funny cause this was a hoola-hoop game, but there was no winner from being good at the hoola-hoop. You were a winner if you picked up the right hoola-hoop and the number on the hoola-hoop matched the number from a bag. Kind of lame, but the kids loved it.

Now to show you all an image that I think is amazing but horrifying at the same time.

Below, is an image of a kid with a snowball. I asked the kid for a picture and so he decided to pose. In my head, I was thinking, "AWESOME! This kid is going to be my highlight of the day!" Once I checked to make sure I had the image, I proceeded to put the camera to my face to take another picture.

He, on the other hand, thought that holding that snowball was getting boring and that it would be better to nail me in the face with it. Little did he know, that I would put my camera to my face, when he would throw it.

Once I pulled the camera from my face and he was laughing his butt off, he realized that I was not a very happy man.

P.s. Kids are kids and the camera is fine. Its still an awesome image.
