It was a lovely day at the end of February. Sunny skies and warm temps made it feel almost springlike as families glided around Bowness Lagoon on Sunday afternoon. One family even tried an ice bike! We skated all the way down the long creek and then returned to the firepit to roast some marshmallows and enjoy a well-deserved hot chocolate. Our dedicated volunteer, Grace Sutherland, was on hot chocolate duty and did a great job.
We shared some hot chocolate with other families that happened to be out enjoying the sunshine and they also got to check out our grizzly bear claws and footprint, deer antlers and learn about what we do at AWA. There was one lady who had never roasted a marshmallow in her life! The look on her face when she bit into the ooey gooeyness was incredible.
I’m sure all the kiddos slept well that night!
First marshmallow ever!
Hands on learning!
Antlers!
