In the snow

In the snow, Tuesday 16 August, 2011

 We woke up to a winter wonderland, a white blanket covering everything and an eerie silence filled the air. We quickly shoved on a lot of clothes and raced outside. Our feet sank deep into the snow. We ran through the snow to each others houses, and went round measuring deep parts of snow around the place. The deepest part we found was 25 centimetres. Then we ran round to Katie’s back yard and made a toboggan run out of snow. We slid down it loads of times and had a whole heap of fun. Katie ripped her track pants on a plank of wood holding up the slide.

 We then had a snowball fight with Ella. We played for ages and Ella was quite a lousy aimer, and it was us throwing the snowballs at each other that made us get wet. So we went inside and got warm. We had a muffin and ran over to Anna’s house.

Back at Anna’s house we had a snowball fight, and Anna’s Aunty and mum dragged Anna down onto the snow and she got covered in snow. Brrrr. After that we made snow angels and got even wetter and so we went inside and got warm again. While we were getting warm, we played truth or dare. Anna had to wear a toilet paper hat for 10 minutes and had to eat a teaspoon of condiments. Then we had toasties for lunch and went outside and made even more snow angels.

It was amazing to have a snow day (and a day or two off school) and we had loads of fun together, swapping houses for the whole day. WHAT FUN WE HAD!! JJJJ
