It's cold as all get-out, there's snow on the ground in Minnesota, it's only Nov. 12 and nobody is acting like this about it.
Maybe that's on us.
Rebecca Davies posted the video on Twitter over the weekend to document the first time these kids had ever seen snow.
The family -- a woman and four kids -- was living in a refugee camp in Sudan until last Thursday.
Davies volunteers with the Ripple Refugee Project, a private refugee sponsor group in Toronto.
Since September, they'd been trying to raise the $25,000 to bring the family to Canada.
