Let It Snow ... Indoors!

The other day we went to Pacific Place (an upscale shopping mall in downtown Seattle) to watch it snow.

It doesn't actually snow in Seattle very often, so Pacific Place provides indoor snow for shoppers. They make it snow from November 25th through December 31st, from 6:00 to 6:15 p.m daily.

It's a fun activity, and they play really good Christmas music while you're getting snowed upon. In fact, it feels like you are on the set of some Christmas movie watching people with their shopping bags hurry about between the flakes, moving up and down the escalators, kids jumping up and down and catching snow on their tongues, and the adults trying to capture it all on their camera phones.

The little ones were SO excited about the snow, but I saw a lot of big smiles from adults as well (including our own). If you're having trouble picturing indoor snow, you can see a video of it here. Pretty cool!
