Snow Day!!!

Yes, that's right, yesterday Gordon had a snow day. I had been hoping and praying all Tuesday night that they would cancel classes. My homework had been too much too finish that night and I was going to have to squeeze it in between working in the writing center and classes the next day. Unfortunately they didn't feel the need to let everyone know until 6 am Wednesday morning, but I was too happy to care at that point. After sleeping in until a wonderfully late hour, Ali and I decided to take a walk in the woods. We ended up tramping about and talking for about an hour and a half. By that time we were hot and thirsty and worn out. We watched the afternoon slip by while alternating between homework and goofing off. To end our awesome snow day, we ordered Chinese and watched a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie (probably not your idea of fun, but we giggled hysterically at the bad acting and shallowness of it all). Here are some picture of our snowy walk.

Before Ali and I desecrated its snowy purity

After...

Coy Pond

Ali got great entertainment out of watching me climb over this snow and ice covered log and slip on my butt

Made it over with only minor bruising, but a lot more wet spots than before

All bundled up

Found another one of the ponds buried in obscurity behind our college. That was as far as we went for the day.

Enjoying the silence

Friend and roommates, my Ali and I

We stopped by Gull Pond on the way back and there was a big hole in the middle.

No Lifeguard on duty
Swim at your own risk

So we did :)

Being goofy

Ali is a much better swimmer than me

Snow Angel

This adorable Lab puppy came zooming in out of no where. I had to warn Ali to sit up before she got trampled. He zoomed away just as fast and we saw him and his owner on our way back to campus.
