EPIC weekend
Aug. 7th, 2011 07:10 pmI'm baaack from BOW! Before I talk about it..WE FOUND SNOWY!! Or rather Snowy found us. Before lunch mom was looking at her texts and Ryan had sent "we found Snowy" and mom called him. Well yesterday they got another cat cause they said if they did Snowy would come back (that's how we got Cheetah..Snowy ran away and dad felt bad and got Cheetah and he came back). This morning dad went to feed the other cats and saw Snowy on the porch! That's just AMAZING. Either someone dropped him off or he just..found his way home somehow. Woww. So weird too that as soon as we get another cat he comes back haha (the other cat is named "Mr. Kitty" but I imagine they're gonna change it haha). Mom was practically crying when she told me. Aw yay :D (now we'll have FIVE cats at mom's house when Abby comes over..oh jeez haha)
On Friday we drove to Lost Lake Boy Scout Camp where the workshop was held. It's not a far drive at all..maybe an hour away. Jennifer from the winter camp was going too and we picked her up and took her along. It was pretty smoky from the fire. We got registered and set up in our cabins (though other people slept in tents or RVs). It was more rustic than the winter workshop (well it IS a Boy Scout camp :P). I saw there was an upstairs loft in my cabin and totally slept there haha..so cool. Windy from the winter camp also came! Yay reunion hehe. I liked that most people were from Fairbanks (in winter most are from the Anchorage area). It made it seem closer and I actually knew what places they were talking about :P
We had lunch and there were introductions and then went to my first class (mom took it too) which was What's in the Woods? for me. It was AWESOME!! We identified trees, plants, berries, tracks..the instructor was SO knowledgeable and avid about it..I wish he was always with me. :P The weather was cold and rainy but it was ok anyway. I learned that if you eat willow leaves it acts as a painkiller..I tried one cause my arm was really hurting (stupid weather :P). Well IT WORKED! Soo cool!! Mom tried it too since her back was hurting and it helped her also! Woww. I love being able to identify plants so the class was great. We saw some moose tracks too! Nature FTW
( adventures )
Pics tomorrow!
