Tanner goes to Clear Creek - 3/2-3/3

Every 5th grader has the opportunity to attend Clear Creek in the winter. This is an overnight activity up in the mountains where the boys go one day and the girls go the other day. They are able to do some awesome activities while there. Tanner had such a great time. As soon as he returned I asked him how his trip was - here are his responses:

My favorite part was cross country skiing. I fell a while bunch of times. It is a pain to get up. (This was his first time every skiing.)

There was 3 feet of snow. It actually snowed during the night - we woke up to a little bit.

Some of the activities we had were snowshoeing, cross country skiing, boondoggle, math games, night hike, morning hike (about 2 miles). On the morning hike we made snow caves. I made a huge one with Jared Curtis. We could both fit inside it was so big. There was a huge hill we slid down with my snow pants - it was fun!

The food was pretty good.

We slept in a cabin. It was pretty big. There were about 20 boys who slept in my cabin. We woke up around 6 a.m.

We watched the moving, "Cool Runnings."

David Wilcox went along with the boys and he took some awesome pictures of Tanner while he was skiing.

Here is Tanner upon arriving home. He looked so cute in his snow pants, luggage and heavy boots. He was worn out but had such an awesome time!
