Windy aurora
Aunt Cindy and Uncle Dean got here Monday afternoon, yay! We talked and had dinner and just hung out. It was cool Jo finally got to meet them in person too!
Yesterday we hung out and played Mario Party haha until it was time to watch the Northern Lights! We had reservations at Aurora Pointe, a place outside of town that hosts tourists and anyone else who wants to see the aurora! They have snacks and board games to play while you wait for the lights to come out, and they have a live webcam on TV so you know when the lights are out too. The guides there also announce when the aurora has gotten good as well. They open at 10 and you can stay until 2 AM to watch the aurora. Thankfully, we got a pretty good showing! Not really any dancing, but green and stretched across the sky. It was also super windy, so it was FREEZING (I think it was 0 degrees with a -18 windchill!!). Cindy and Dean were still very happy they got to see the aurora though! I'm glad it cooperated :P (the guides said that was the best aurora they'd seen for a couple weeks..cool!)
They're coming out!
These next pics are ones the guides took
We couldn't see the red with the naked eye, but still cool!
Dean, mom, Cindy, me, Ryan (Jo had to work the next day, so he couldn't come with us)
11 – World Plumbing Day: We take indoor plumbing for granted – until there's a problem with it. Have you ever suffered a major plumbing emergency? Have you ever tried to fix a plumbing issue on your own? Did you succeed? A few months ago the bottom of the toilet leaked, making the floor discolored and crunchy..I'm having an inspection later in the month, so they're FINALLY having to work on the floor. I've unclogged toilets, yay me :P
12 – Craft Month: Do you enjoy being creative? What crafts do you participate in? What crafts would you like to try out? No, mom didn't give me that gene :P
13 – Good Samaritan Day: Have you ever been a good Samaritan for a stranger? Has anyone ever been one for you? Do you think people are less likely to help out these days than in the past? Sure. Hmm, maybe in certain places, but a lot of people still want to help
14 – Crowdfunding Day: Did you know it dates back to the 19th century although the modern resurgence dates from the mid 1990s? Have you ever donated to a crowdfund? Have you ever asked people to donate to you? Do those birthday donations on Facebook count? I'm assuming GoFundMe counts? I don't think so?
15 – Brutus Day: Et tu, Brutus? Have you ever (figuratively) stabbed someone in the back? Has someone stabbed you in the back (also figuratively, unless someone actually stabbed you in the back)? Probably sometime in my life..
