There's SNOW in Long Beach!


The final day of extra special fun that we planned for our kids at Lakewood Family Church during the month of December was a SNOW DAY on Dec. 23. We brought in 5 tons of real snow (well actually, a company called "The Ice Man" in Bellflower brought in huge blocks of ice, shredded it and BLEW it all over our play area.It was a little expensive, but our kids and families sure had a blast. We served free hot chocolate, and let the kids play in shifts. After a couple of hours, most of the families and kids had gone home, and we just let everyone have at it! The Snowman was provided by "The Ice Man" company. They also do movie sets and in Santa Clause 3 they had to make a ton of these snowmen identically, and quickly, so they discovered a way to make them in a large barrel, remove the barrel, a bucket of snow for the head, add the eyes, nose, pipe, hat, etc, and wa-la! Instant snowman! The snow was very packed, and so not really adequate for making snow angels, but here's one of our Jr. Highers, Alyssa, trying to make one anyway! I don't know who had more fun, the kids, or the parents who were taking pictures!
