I hope his quizzes falls on him tomorrow night”.  Eric also added that the quinzees were harder then expected.  Eric also said that his quinzees smelled like a pumpkin.  Macy said that she will sleep well tonight but she will be sore by the snowballs that Jeffery, Andy and Ben H.  What was interesting, those eyewitnesses came to us and pointed out that Macy throw the first snowball.  Macy enjoyed digging out the Latrine for tomorrow.  Taylor hopes that tomorrow will be more exciting and funnier then today.  Sam said that today was an easier day then yesterday.  Sam is anxious to sleep in the quinzees tomorrow.  Emmi cannot wait to sleep in the quinzees tomorrow.  For Emmi skiing was the hardest part of the day.  Jamie has not changed much on this trip; she still cannot manage to swallow pills.  Earlier today, Jamie said, “I had to take nasty pills that made me sick again.”  Gideon thought that today was the hardest and he became confused when we were switching activities.  The day was packed and fun.  The scenery was great, his favorite was sleeping and the worst was falling down when he was skiing, at least we think that is what he was trying to do.  Andy had a hard day and had to be the mole in his quinzee group.  They finished last but did a great job and got a lot done.  He thought that the tracking was not superb but he will get get over it. 

 Jeffery had to snowshoe all the way back to the quinzees and is wearing down more and more every day.  Brittany L. thinks waking up at 6 25 is too early.  Brittany fell in the snow and Karissa added some hair to the imprint. It was a fun day for Brittany L.

Joseph liked digging out quinzees but it went down his back.   He thought the tracking was hard because he had to keep the bees wax warm and he had the mixture just right.  His favorite part was when he dug out the quinzees. Bob thought tracking was fun.  He said skiing to the quinzees was hard.  On the way back, the bison were close and he was scared.  His favorite thing was sleeping.  Karissa said it took a long time to get to the quinzees but that was not bad.  She said it stunk because they kept digging in bison dung.  She liked tracking but she said it was hard because there were not good tracks.  Christina was tired when she went to the quinzees, she dug with her dad and Karissa.  She worked hard and got sweaty.  She was not good at skiing.
