Fall turning to Winter...

The weather over the last couple weeks has progressively gotten colder. I wake up every morning and peak out my window to see what the day may hold. Oh the joy to see the sunshine rising over the Mountains... even if it is surrounded by smog! :) We have had a couple of cold days here and there, but nothing to horrible. Everyone has informed me that the winter is supposed to be especially cold this year, but so far we haven't see that yet. I wouldn't mind if it held off for another six weeks. :p

This evening I will be participating in a little "camping" outing with some of the kids from the Elementary. While getting ready for school this morning, I received a phone call asking me if I would be willing to help chaperone a group of the 5-6th graders who will be spending the night here on campus. Apparently they are doing some sort of wilderness experience and are going to build a campfire and all. So this evening when they are all ready to crawl into their little sleeping bags I will join the girls in their tent. Hopefully the night isn't super cold, but I will be fully decked out in warm clothing, lots of blankets, and a hot water bottle!
