Our First "BIG" Snow and the DEMO mode!

Yesterday we were supposed to get our first big snow; they were predicting 1-3" of accumulation but we only ended up with about an 1/8". What a bummer! It was pretty to watch, though, and as a bonus it snowed all day today, too. So in order to properly capture the moment I got Maddie all bundled up in her super cute hat and mittens and stuck her out in the snow, in her car seat with a blanket of course, and started clicking away. Much later when I was playing with my super cool new camera inside, I suddenly realized that it kept saying "Demo Mode." Duh! No camera card! With every other camera I've ever operated, they don't actually let you take pictures without the card. Live and learn. At least this wasn't some super special, one of kind moment we can never get back. So, I stuffed Maddie back into her outdoor wear, made sure we had a card, and tried again! If you look close, you can see the flakes.
