Snow Day

Hello everyone! It’s now only one week from today that I will be flying home! I can’t wait! I hope this next week goes fast! I’m finally going to be back in cabins which I haven’t done for over a month now. It should be interesting to experience this in the snow.

My first Snow Day in years!

Speaking of snow… Last Monday we had our first snow day! It was so much fun! The night before we were told that it was for going to be a delayed start so we knew we could sleep in, but then we woke up to find out some exciting news. They told us that all of program was going to start on Tuesday due to the accumulating snow fall…. Woohoo! Snow day!

This meant that we weren’t going get paid so we decided that we were going to have to do something to make it worth our pay. :) This is what we came up with… I’ll tell you through this succession of pictures.

We decided to make a couple snowmen. This is our king and queen with Ange and I peeking out behind them. (Emily, It’s like Sarah and Boris of the Winter Carnival! :) )

It was funning how making a snowman actually takes skill. My friends were pretty impressed how I could put together a giant snowball so quickly. I just told them. That’s what you get for growing up in Minnesota! :) It’s a simple art form but does take some skill. Our snowmen are nothing compared to the snow sculptures of the winter carnival. I’m so excited to see them again!

We made the king running away from the queen so we took a funny picture with the snowmen to illustrate that. Hehe

Of course we can’t play in the snow without throwing a few snowballs and so a snowball fight insued. Brittany was definitely representing it for Minnesnowta. :) It was so fun! This picture is also great to show just how much snow we got. It was so awesome! It reminded me of the snow we used to get in Minnesota when I was growing up. (maybe that’s only because I was smaller then?) It was funny to hear people yelling because they got snow down their pants and such. We were all acting like our students and having a great time!

Then we started getting creative with our picture taking skills. Here is one of us jumping in the snow. This is Ange, Jessica, and Kelly.

We had a great day playing in the snow and decided that it was well worth our day off! Program started the next day and we continued to play in the snow all week long just instead of playing with each other, we played with our kids.

Here’s one last picture of me climbing in the tall trees. I love snow!
