South Dakota Day 3 From the Students Perspective

Howdy Family and Friends...what a day! Started out by waking up to foreigners extremely excited to see snow for the first time in their life! No words can describe the sounds I heard coming from them! EPIC!

Angela—Can u imagine that it snowed today! It is beautiful! We didn’t go bear country, but we did went to some awesome shops! I bought really yummy chocolate! Horay! And going to the mall this afternoon is the best part for me today! Me and Mrs. Barker and Mr. Barker really had a good time! I just cant stop buying all those shinny stuffs! Anyway, I did enjoyed a lot! It was a niceeeeeeeeeee day! I love it!
Joy – day 3 – survived, didn’t even fall down, didn’t freeze to death. Success!
Sid: This day began with snow and very tough driving on the road, just so scary. We froze all day, but it was still very nice and we felt so Europeans in the House of Scandinavia, even eating sushis because going to Japanese restaurants is such a European thing!
Simone – Today we visited the house of scandinavia which I loved! I Bought a lot of Christmas stuff and Danich food. We ate great food today I got sushi it was delicious..
Frenchie : day 3 with snow. So exciting ! The museum, the house of Scandinavia, the slide park. It was so much fun to spend the day in the swimming pool and look at the snow outside. I lost my phone on the morning so well I miss something. But I’m gonna survive !
Bell- I love water park do muchhhhhhh I have so much fun there. I love this day and I love SNOW !!
Diana: the waterpark is so amazing! I almost die there!!! But that is all right cuz I have my life saveior-Bell with me!! I am so sad I didn’t go there last year and see what I missed last year! But I am happy I didn’t go last year so all the things are new for me today! I hate climbing upstairs. I think I climbed at least 30 times today! And it was so cool to see everyone swimming inside while outside is snowing!
Philip: I’m tired…. Day 3 was real cool too, getting up wasn’t cool at all. I think we started at the Journey Museum, that was really interesting and you saw a lot about the life of Indians. Then we drove to the Norwegian Chapel in the hills. It was officially closed, anyhow that didn’t keep me, Cece and Angela from walking up there to take some pictures. After that we headed up to House of Scandinavia, where I spent 25 bucks on sweets. That’s just me lol. Bear Country was closed which upset me a lot, always wanted to hug a *real* bear. Then we headed for lunch, where I quietly sneaked away from our group to have lunch with Tim’s mum and sister at one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been at. Nobody could wait to go to the Watiki water park, which was great fun and real good at making me exhausted. Afterwards we cruised around forever to find a place to eat, finally I got to go to that awesome Japanese restaurant a second time. The cook was far better the first time! Then we got ice cream at some ice cream place, which was/is real good too. This best blog entries of all now ends with me questioning myself why I always write so much, it’s just work……….

Jonas: 17 people… white stuff is coming from the sky… adventure… one mission: Having FUN! When we watched out of the window today morning, everybody still had the cold feelings of dark winter month… OUT OF SARA AND MELINA! They jumped around and enjoyed this white “wonder”. “Jurney Museum”, “Stavkirke”, “Scandinavia Shop”, Lunch at Tacco Bell, Watiki water park and this AMAZING dinner! Everything was great and we had the opposite of “no funny”. I don’t want to repeat everything what the other students wrote but I had just a wonderful day and I really want to say thank you Jenn that she took such a small german boy with on this trip. Good night Nebraska, good morning Germany!
Jess- Survived day 3, had an awesome time! I loved seeing snow for the 2nd time in my life this stuff is amazing. It was a little cold but we thought the cold was the best weather go swimming. The pool was the highlight of my day! All very fun! The Japanese food was delicious but once again a kids meal was too big. The Journey museum was also very informative, I enjoyed it a great deal, I got to experience a side saddle, very uncomfortable and I’m glad chicks don’t ride horses like that! Everyone found out my phobia of bird, Jen thought it was funny, I did not! HAHA awesome day! 
Alex- everyone is so romantic, by using wonderful words! I’m sorry but it’s 1.18 a.m. and I was sleeping just before this!  the only thing that I can do now is describe Jen in this moment; she is sleeping sitting on the chair, this days killed her. Everything was perfect and it was just for her! Nothing can stop her, the snow tried this morning though, but she won! Good job jen we love you!
Cece: Day three is over, well not over-over but we are getting there. THIS MORNING IT SNOWED!! Since we are all foreigners, we knew that some of us probably didn’t have seen snow before, like Sara, that was hilarious!!!! she freaked out and started running in the snow and made a snow-angel, me on the other hand was inside or walking calmly beside the kids. I do not like snow! Today’s program: visiting a museum. Breaking in to a Norwegian stavkirke, the gates were closed and the Norwegian in me said: go in!!! we also went to a Scandinavian store!!!!! Denmark and I went nuts and decided to buy a lot of food and stuff you need that you can’t get around here. And from there on we were supposed to go to this bear something, but that was closed because of the bad weather so we decided to go to a water park. That was awesome!! I loved it. You can’t think that that’s the end of the day.. when you are on a Jen-Trip it never ends. Japanese, Sushi grill was for supper today!!!YUM, let’s just put it that way. I finally got my sushi in America.. I will be satisfied for days!!
Sara: The only thing I recall from this day was the snow… It actually snowed!! And it was sooo much fun!! We had a snowball fight, tried to make a snowman, it was extremely awesome!! I will always remember this trip as the best one ever!!

From our last day in South Dakota...goodnight South Dakota, Nebraska, Good morning rest of the world! Have a great day!
