We will leave from Shepherd of the Valley in McCalla in the church van at 7:00 am on Saturday, January 19th. That is THIS SATURDAY! We are guessing that we will be back by 8:00 pm. Your student will call you when we get on the road and know a more specific time.
Please have plenty of extra dry clothes and socks with you. Extra shoes would even be a good idea! They suggest water resistant clothes including your boots and gloves.
You may want to bring sunglasses for the glare of the snow but you will need to have them on a string of some sort, I would think.
I will need your signed permission slip. If you are bringing a guest please make sure you have theirs with you that morning!!!! The only one I have so far is Caroline's. The form is attached to this email again.
We will stop at some point for a little breakfast but I do not know what time or where so if you need food early, please eat something before you leave home.
I will have some little snacks and waters on the van.
You will need money for that breakfast and for lunch and supper. You will also need money for snacks, hot chocolate, etc. at the park and that is never cheap. The S'mores packets you can buy for the fire are $5.00. There are also gift shops so you know what that means! A trip to a theme park can be expensive so be sure your student knows how much you want her/him to spend.
Here is the Snow Mountain website link if you would like to check it out some more. http://www.stonemountainpark.com/events/Snow-Mountain.aspx
Please feel free to email or call me if you have any questions.
I am so excited that we have been given this day together to share in the wonder of faith family enjoying God's creation. I am thankful that our church is funding this trip and that we have the health in our bodies to do this! Thanks to all you adults who are giving up your Saturday to go with us! You are a treasure!
Peace,
Barri Pratt
