Only three of our 15 VOM team members had been to the continental US before this trip and only one of them had ever seen snow before. So when a somewhat unseasonable snow storm hit the Lassen area Thursday, we decided to use our rest day to take a trip to the snow. Our hosts in Susanville provided us with gloves and other winter clothes and the group headed out to enjoy a day in the snow. I think they had a blast as the pictures below will show. On a related note, I would appreciate your prayers for the health of the VOM team members. The travel and unseasonable cold has caused a lot of stuffed noses and sinuses and we have had a couple team members have to spend a day in bed to recover from colds or flu.
As you can see here the snow was really coming down
Jake was still wearing shorts in the snow
Jaynee was well bundled up and protected from the cold
Joyce was immersed in her snow experience
Several intense snowball fights broke out
I am not sure if this is a snowman or something else
Charles and Grace prepare for snowball warfare
Justin and (loud) Grace prepare to return fire
Delight and Evelyn keep things under control
Kita prepares herself to climb the mountain of snow
Jake tries to convince us that he is not cold
Erten conquers the mountain of snow
We were all happy to be re-united with Daisy Murdock in Susanville. However, Daisy does not seem too happy to be in the snow.
