Hello everyone!
Today was a snowy, stormy morning in Anchorage, Alaska. The wind was howling as we departed for Kincaid Park. Our first task of the day was to learn all of the kid's names and favorite Alaskan animal. The ever popular moose, salmon, and polar bear were included but we also got responses of lion and house cat! As the kids departed for the swimming pool, we (Sam and Matt) hauled cardboard boxes from the bunker to the building accompanied by Margaret (the head of the program), Eliza, and Tay Tay. Instantly, construction of the Wildcat Turbo Speedster 5000 commenced. This sled was a prototype for the kids to follow, but became a pretty fun project for us UNHers. After completion of the Wildcat, we decided to take it for a test run on the slopes. During this experience, it was a sight to behold! We will retire the Wildcat Turbo Speedster 5000 with great pride. Using our new found sled building skills, we were able to assist the children with their own speedster creations. Hours of cutting cardboard, ripping duct tape, and taping streamers resulted in a variety of cardboard sleds. These sleds will face the true test on Friday as the kids participate in a Sled Derby at Kincaid. We look forward to seeing all of the kids' (and our) hard work in action on Friday!
'Til Friday,
Sam and Matt
