Snowpowers Narrative

Running in the snow we began the fight! Each team building a snow fort bigger and better than the other teams. Unfortunately in all of that chaos my team accidentally built our fort in the neighbor's yard! Luckily, we fixed their yard up before they got home. Before we knew it the fight began, and I was the first to get hit. The icy snow hit me right in the face

“I don’t think we’ll find many berries to pick. There is still a lot of snow on the ground.”

The evenings were beginning to turn chilly as fall was fast approaching. She couldn’t believe how quickly this year had passed as she placed a protective hand on her round stomach and marveled at the beauty of new life.

“Ghastly,” she muttered under her breath. It was too scary for a Christmas character, but people loved to scare or to be scared, no matter the time of the year. Jack and Hector had made a grisly snow monster, and it had been three days already that the horned half-melted creature gazed at her whenever she passed across their courtyard…

There was a fresh chill in the air when she stepped out onto the sidewalk. Snow was sprinkling down coating the pavement in front of the building. She had to tug her hood just a little tighter as she carefully made her way up the little entrance way.

Stepping into the warmth of the house, she started to stomp her feet on the carpet in an attempt to get the snow off of her shoes, not that it would matter because they were going back outside soon either way. Once her parents made it into the house the conversed shortly, catching up with each other. Soon they were all ready to go back out into the cold and try their new invention. A homemade sled made from thick white plastic, holes drilled in the sides where ropes go, the sides and front folding up to make sure you stay inside.

When we get back to my house we are surprised to see another snowman in our front yard. In fact, it was the exact same one we had made twenty minutes ago!

Her birthday falls on the day after Christmas, so we would go over and share our presents with each other. After our makeshift show-and-tell was over, we would head outside to play in the snow. We bundled up as much as we could in our snow pants, sweaters, coats, hats, gloves, the whole nine yards. Lauri’s yard was humongous and secluded from other houses by a hill and surrounding woods. Together, we would trek through the snow and throw a few snowballs at each other, though my sister seemed to always seemed to gang up on me. Every year, it was tradition for Lauri’s family to have a snowman-building competition. This included her entire family, and trust me, it was large; her parents had five kids, and Lauri was the youngest of the bunch. For the snowman competition, Lauri, Katie, and I were all on one team since we were the youngest group, but I don’t think we ever won any of the competitions against her parents and older siblings; either way, we had a lot of

“Let’s go,” I yelled. In my head I was very nervous. The side-by-side was shooting snow into our faces.

“You bet!” I chime back. We let our stubby five-year-old feet wander into the winter wonderland. We gaze at the sky in awe; it is grey, but the snow makes it all better.

We donned our brand new matching pink fur boots and our warmest jackets and ventured into the white wonderland that awaited us. About an hour into our escapade, we encountered a large icy puddle right in front of the horse stable. Alana jumped on the ice which broke with a satisfying *crunch*. I giggled joyfully and

Myra giggled. "I was taught by a fire dragon, and an ice dragon. Learned a few things about staying warm. Here." Myra took her blanket from the pack she was carrying, and handed it to Kyle. "I don't need it."

“Are you ill? Jezzz, it’s way too nice out for a winter coat,” Jared added.

"Of course! You can't have an adventure without a Icee." He told me as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. After we each got a blue raspberry Icee (Michael claiming that Cherry was a curse from the gods) Michael was once again tugging me down the side walk. The sun was nearly set now, but the night air was warm, making me

We thanked her and pulled on our coats and mittens. I grabbed my white chocolate mocha before heading out into the thick snow. Karina and Alan argued over who was going to drive through the storm on the way home and eventually Alan conceded. As he scraped snow off the car, Karina jokingly warned me that it was going to be a rough trip home. I figured she was just exaggerating since she loved to make fun of Alan. Then, Alan hopped in and insisted Karina played Christmas music.
