The Winter Day Camp event I have been preparing for took place this past Saturday and I'd say it went well. I ended up with 13 kids showing up to learn about animal winter behaviours like hibernating, migrating, and insulating. I planned a bunch of educational games like Oh Deer!, How Many Bears?, and the migration four corners game I created for a classroom program earlier in the year. We also did a blubber demo, a scavenger hunt, spent some time with the touch trunk, and went on a winter hike to look for animal tracks- which proved to be super successful as there were TONS of tracks throughout the refuge in the fresh snow from the night before! It was cool to see something I planned and organized entirely on my own work out so well!
Also, this was my first decent snowfall here and my first time EVER driving on snow! I was so excited that it was snowing Friday night that I ran outside barefoot and in shorts. I played around in the snow for a little before going back in and throwing some pajama pants and snow boots on. It was so pretty and I loved seeing all the animal tracks. I'm definitely excited to experience a real winter and all the pretty scenery and fun adventures that go along with it!
How Neat Is That?!

| Being barefoot in the snow apparently is a weird thing to do...... |
