From Lily and Stella:
Today we woke up with a knock on our door. We ate breakfast then dashed back to our rooms to prepare for snowshoeing. By 9:30 we were passing moose, bison and elk on our way to see the Jackson Lake dam(it was a dridge- dam bridge). Then we headed out to Oxbow bend. There we observed Canada geese, moose, and swans. After that we went on an adventure snowshoeing up a hill while observing many different animal scats and tracks. We stopped for lunch under a big tree looking at the Grand Tetons. We followed instructor Kelly to identify some trees surrounding us. As we headed back to the van we tumbled down a couple of hills (Indigo got the award for most creative fall- face plant. She came up smiling)! After falling head-over-heals we made models of mountain landscapes out of snow and drew it as a topographical map. It was a big day and we're about to head off to dinner. Excellent food!
OMG, what a coincidence, there were swans and moose in the MIS playground today! .......uh, um, not. Wow, you guys, your day sounds amazing! Thanks for all the fabulous details. We're thinking about you all.

I am SOOO relieved the food is excellent - just like home and MIS hot lunch! It's hard to believe you guys were snowshoeing today - it's supposed to be 80 degrees here tomorrow. Amazing what a few thousand feet of eleveation will do. It sounds like you are having a great adventure. Much love,

Lily and Stella,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous note! We're glad to hear you are enjoying the wildlife and are relieved that Indigo survived the fall. Exactly what kind of scat did you examine? Be nice to Helena and Jeff; they love you! Here's a big virtual hug from Kelly and Brad...
Sounds like you all are having a marvelous experience! The sun is getting warm in Missoula today, and the halls of MIS seem quieter without our middle school. Thank you for posting such fun details on the blog! It is great to hear what you are doing.
