Snow Day at ISK

The kids love playing in the snow at school. Because the snow piled up near the drive, all the children were able to create snow caves and tunnels. Because the snow didn't melt for quite a while, the kids were able to work on their structures and play inside them for weeks. Marcus' was the biggest so he was declared the king.

The cold weather does affect the wardrobe. While the kids are not required to wear uniforms at ISK, they are required to have a pair of indoor shoes and outdoor shoes at school. They must enter and exit the building through the locker room doors and then change shoes depending on where they are going next. PE, music class (in another building), and recess all require a change of shoes. The kids also keep gloves and snow pants or snow suits at school. Judging from the smell of the locker room, they've been having a good time in the snow. It's definitely time for some spring cleaning.

The kids also enjoyed sledding at school. There were small ramps on the schools field, but the tracks in the woods were long and steep! Brody said one run would take about 2 minutes to get down, but then they have to walk back up with their sled. Thank goodness the kids could steer the sleds; otherwise, I fear they would have rammed a tree or two. Then again, it's possible they did, but Mom and Dad never found out about it.
