Ok, this is silly.

For a place that constantly reminds you that it sits on top of an
active volcano, it's ridiculously cold today. A front came in last
night, and when we woke up it was snowing. Yes, you read correctly.
Ther are places where it snows...in JUNE, and apparently people choose
to live live here. We knew it would be cooler here, but it averages
highs in the mid sixties, lows in the forties. We happened to choose a
time when they're having a cold snap...I'd call it an insanely frigid
snap. It's 32 degrees and snowing and it's noon.

Admittedly, I'm the only one in the family who has been incapacitated
by the weather. Jason is happy as can be, and all three girls slept
through the night in their sleeping bags without making a peep. This
morning they were playing catch with a stick before breakfast like
they were pioneer children or something. I was immobile by the fire
trying to massage some feeling back into my frozen toes. We're doing a
nice indoor visitor center and a SHORT walk to see some thermal
features. Maybe I'll hop into one of them and warm up!
