It's Friday~!

Friday - (a parody) by Shaughna and Larissa


6:45 waking up in the centre,
Gotta be fresh and half asleep gotta go downstairs,
Eric’s gotta have his bowl, gotta have cereal
Packing our bags, buying new sweats,
Walking on and on,  hope no one forgets,
Gotta get down to the buggy,
The tundra buggy, I see some bears (some bears)

Harry in front of the buggy

Chillin’ by the back deck,
Sittin’ by the window,
Gotta make my mind up,
How will Greg be BAAIIIT?!?

It’s FRIDAY, FRIDAY.
Gotta see bears on Friday
Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the exam this weekend, weekend (but not really)

Runnin’ Eric over on Friday.
Everybody’s look forward to the adventure.

Cruisin’ so slow on the tundra, hey it’s my turn to drive,

In bush eight meters by my right ....YEAH!

As you can guess today was Friday, and went on a tundra buggy, to see the different sites and wildlife of the subarctic tundra here in Churchill. On the ride we ran into all kinds of different animals. Our favourite was the big willow bush ..... it had bear in it ... a POLAR BEAR!  We all got a chance to walk back out deck to look and take pictures of the bear, we named him Woogles the Powa Beah.  It was amazing to see the bar up that close. We were told he was a healthy fat bear sleep in his summer bed, waiting for the ice to form by the bay.

The trip was a long trip out all day, with the occasional nap or two ... or five. Later in the day John, our driver was nice enough to show us and give everyone a chance to drive the tundra buggy. (Larissa, Shaughna and Doug were clearly by far the best drivers at the camp!). Then we got home to the centre and it was a long night of studying! But I hope we are ready!

Wish us luck for tomorrow!

Goodnight
Much love,
