Family Snow Day

This event occurred Sunday, February 3rd between the time of 3 pm and 5 pm.

As soon as we got back from our lunch at the local Chinese restaurant, my nephew wanted to play in the backyard. And so, it came down to me and my brothers to watching the kids while my mom prepared dinner. We built a snowman. Let me explain something you will see in the pictures. The first face had a weird-shaped head, uneven eyes, a crazy-big-Jay-Leno chin, and it looked like an alien. The second face, made on the other side, looks more like Frosty without the coal. We gave it a real carrot nose. It was special. Unfortunately, because of the rain that happened the past few days, the snowman became anorexic. It became unbearable of its own weight and fell over. Chunks of snow everywhere, carrot on the ground, the horror!

Anyway, my middle brother and my nephew threw some snowballs at each other. My eldest brother started making a snow wall. It was a difficult beginning, but it became the greatest defense in the Tsang family backyard. Patrick used this to his advantage, though his throwing sucked considerably behind a barrier. After an hour since we went out to play, my journalistic documentations ceased due to the death of my battery. It was then that I got caught up in the war. Snowballs flying everywhere, innocent bystanders getting hit by stray snowballs, refugees fleeing. It was the snowball fight of the century. It somehow ending up with my eldest brother versus the rest of us. This went on for another hour before it ended with peace. No one won. No one kept score. Technically, my mother won. She made us stop to get ready for dinner.

The end.
