7 Arctic Expedition

CHAPTER 7 ARCTIC EXPEDITION I open the front door and am greeted by a winter wonderland. Everything is covered over. Wherever you walk, it's like plodding through clouds—thick clouds... wet clouds... white clouds. Mom and I start rolling a big snowball for the snowman's bottom. Then we roll one for the snowman's top and one for his head. So far, we have three scoops of a giant snow cone. Then mom goes in the house and gets a carrot for a nose and two

radishes for eyes. I put my cap on him and I must say, he looks pretty impressive. CAN I SLEEP IN YOUR HAT? CAN I EAT YOUR EYES? CAN I EAT YOUR NOSE? I LOVE CARROTS. CAN I HAVE YOUR SCARF? AM I IN THE RIGHT BOOK?

Eric comes over with his sled and we tramp off to find a hill. The closest we come to one is my neighbor's driveway. So we pile on the sled and let it rip! Fun! YOU KIDS GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I CALL YOUR PARENTS!

AWESOME! WEE! HANG ON! ARF. ARF.

After thirty rides, we build a snow fort and have a snowball fight with Freddy and Derek who have wandered over. TAKE THAT! HERE'S ONE FOR YOU. DUCK FREDDY! START THROWING DEREK! SNOWBALL FIGHT 1 MAKE A GOOD FORT TO PROTECT YOURSELF. 2 USE WET SNOW WHEN MAKING A SNOWBALL. 3. THROW A SNOWBALL LIKE A BASEBALL. 4. EVERY TIME YOU THROW A SNOWBALL SCREAM SOMETHING AT YOUR OPPONENT.
