What do you get when take 21 4th-7th grade girls
and add
21 pairs of snowshoes
plus
8 inches of fresh snow
plus
a school bus with a driver who doesn't know how to drive in snow
plus
the Trillium Lake trailhead?
Well, it's a simple equation. The answer is chaos. But, chaos with an emphasis in wet clothes, lots of smiles and 21 happy girls.
Here's me driving up to the mountain with 40 pairs of snowshoes. I was the "expert snowshoe guide" for the Girl's Inc. snowshoeing trip yesterday. REI donated the snowshoe rentals and I donated my "expertise." All I did was show them how to put them on and how to find fresh, untracked snow.
Each adult was assigned 5 girls to "keep track of." Those are my five girls, running ahead of everyone. 4 out of the 5 wiped out, face first, just seconds after I took this.
Isn't she the cutest?
The girls stop moving long enough for us to snap a group shot.
