Being born and
growing up in Florida meant that Egypt’s winters weren’t full of cold and snow.
Most Floridians are happy about this fact, but not Egypt. She wanted to see and
play in snow so bad, that I booked a trip to the northern reaches of the
Midwest so Egypt could really experience “winter”.
Egypt could
barely contain her excitement as we traveled to Minneapolis. She never moved so
fast through an airport and as soon as Egypt saw a door to the outside, she
took off running. Before I knew it, she was around a corner and in the middle
of a pile of snow with the biggest smile her little face could make. The snow
and cold was everything and more than she anticipated.
