The Day the Internet Died!

Last night the internet in Willows Court (where I live) died for the night and it as really surprising how much we freaked out about it. We (Mitch, Daniel, Aubrey and I) were trying to think of things to do and we kept coming back to things that had to do with the internet like showing each other You Tube videos and pictures from home. But eventually we got the hang of it and it was one of the most fun nights I've had here! Aubrey and I made up a recipe for Macaroni and Cheese (since we couldn't look one up online) and it turned out really nicely! Then we sat around and talked for about an hour and listened to music (thanks Mom and Doug for the speakers!) and then we started to go a little stir crazy. Mitch made himself a headdress out of a scarf and took artsy pictures like this beautiful one of Aubrey! When we got too stir crazy we decided to take a trip to the library cause Daniel had to do something online and the rest of us wanted to check our e-mail.....I know, I know, we caved...but it was a good thing that we went cause that field trip to the library was where most of the fun happened! The wind was an amazing warm wind and we frolicked in it for a bit and on the way back we found an empty parking lot! We danced in the parking lot and ran free and twirled feeling the wind in our hair! It was so much fun! I've included a picture of Mitch letting the wind catch him! Its pretty easy to see where they got the idea of Mary Poppins flying with her umbrella cause the wind is probably strong enough to carry a grown woman here! When we made it home again we had a dance party in Aubrey's room then we popped some popcorn and watched a few episodes of Friends to wind the night down! It was just a night of good friends finding fun things to do and I loved every minute of it!!!

It wasn't a headdress. It was a turban.
