The Friday after Thanksgiving, we moved from a church to a camp to spend the rest of the weekend. I was a little worried when we got to the camp, because we didn't know what we were going to do with the kids all of Saturday, and we were out in the middle of nowhere... so there we were thnking we would have to be very creative in how to enterain the kids for a full day. But on Friday night, it began to snow, and snowed all night, so there was a nice, beautiful white layer on the ground when we woke up Saturday morning! The kids were thrilled! It is quite an experience to see people who've never watched snow fall before, to see them experience it for the first time. They were squealing, and saying the funniest things! "Auntie, look, it's shiny! Ahhhhhh Auntie, it's COLD! Auntie, it's white!"
After breakfast, we played in the snow! We had two sleds, which wasn't very many for 26 kids, but they waited thier turn.Jacob kept throwing snowballs at me. And i spent a great deal of the morning chasing boys who threw snowballs at my head. Faulanta, Jackie, and Halima made thier first snowmen! They weren't exactly large snowmen, only being about a foot tall, but they were proud of thier snowmen! Anyways, this will be the first of many snow adventures with our kids! I'm very excited!
