Winter festivities

Freezing was all i could think as i stood there covered in snow. It was horrible, my nose was cold and with four pairs of socks and boots my toes still felt worse then frost bitten. It all started when it began snowing. At first i loved the snow it was great. It was beutiful and fun to play in as long as you can go in when your cold. I soon found out that when there is more then a foot of snow and your outside working its not so enjoyable. You may not know this but i have 37 cows. We live on a farm and they are all out in a huge field. They aren't usually a big problem(when there's no snow). As the snow was piling up the fence that was keeping our cows in started to droop. It got so heavy that the fenced collapsed. Saturday morning we get this call saying that a cow is in the middle of the road. So we go outside to check and sure enough its just standing there wondering what to do. So we rush back inside to get dressed, so we can go get the cow back in the pasture. Me of course being the smart person that i am didn't put on any socks. I thought"oh we won't be out there for very long." As we were walking down to take care of the cow in the road a police car drives up. He says he got a call saying there was a cow in the road and he came down to see what he could do. We said "Thanks but we can handle it ourselves." After getting down to the pasture my mom tells me go back up and put socks on before your toes freeze, and my aunt goes get me some gummy bears! so i go back up to my house put four pairs of socks on put my boots back on get the gummy bears and run back down to the field. When i get down there, there is a cow in the lane. (the lane is the road between the two fields that we use to drive in and out of when working with the cows). So i hopp the fence to get to my mom and this cow starts running. I have no idea what it is doing but apparently i am not big enough to scare it because it is coming right towards me. I jump in to a ditch and just miss the dumb cow. By then i am starting to get cold and on top of that i am now wet because of lying in the snow. I get to my aunt and we end of standing off to the side of the fence eating gummy bears and watching as my dad trys to get all the cows into the other field which doesn't have any broken fences. Two hours later i come to the point that i was at, at the beginning of my story. I am standing there eating frozen gummy bears, my toes are completely numb and my nose is freezing. I beg my mom until she finally says i can go back up to my house and get my feet warm. before i go though my aunt warns me put your feet in luke warm water first and gradually get the water warmer other wise your feet will hurt really bad. So i go back to my house and decide i am just going to put my feet into the tub of boiling water because they are so cold i cant stand it. I put my feet in and at first its nice and i wonder what my aunt was talking about. Then all of the sudden i start having this searing pain going through my feet. I ripp my feet out of the water and know i am lying there on the floor my feet are still cold but now i have this horrible pain from the warm water. (now i know what my aunt was talking about). Anyways the moral of my story is when dealing with cows make sure you keep your feet warm. Although i didn't have the most amazing experiences over winter break i still had alot of fun and enjoyed every bit of it.
