Weekend Recreation Activities
On weekends the girls enjoy a range of recreation activities. Sunday, 20th August took them on an exciting trip to enjoy the snow at Lake Mountain Resort in Marysville. For many, it was their first experience of snow and of being up in the mountains. The excitement and anticipation built up as we approached the resort, and the girls caught their first glimpse of snow on the trees and on the side of the road.
