Chuck Norris will beat Rock & Scissors

Today was a great day. We were greeted with mildly chilly skies this morning and this bizarre glowing sphere (i.e. sun). The kids were in great spirits, and everyone was in the mood to learn. Snow was also visible on the nearby peaks, which got some adults pretty darn excited as well. Here are some photos from the day.

Took a hike up to the waterfall, and the kids had a "who can keep their hand in the freezing water long enough" contest. here they are still smiling. I do not have a picture of them testing the length of time it took to get feeling back into their hands.

The kids collected various objects we had found this morning and got to look at them under a microscope.

Snow on Pyramid
Snow on Colonial (7700 ft)

Erika & Emma playing "meet a tree." The kids are blindfolded and walked to a plant where they must feel it and smell it and then identify it later once the blindfold is removed.

What better way to wake up at 8am, then to go play tag with 50+ kids.
