ESL Hiking

Last Friday was one of the best days I've had this month!! Yay for ESL students and exploring nature. 2 things I enjoy more than anything else in the world!!

So...what was did was meet downtown and carpool to Taylor's Falls right on the Minnesota/Wisconsin border. There were 8 University students and Lianna and myself. Two of them we'd never met, so it was definitely nice to have new faces and make new friends.

We had such a fun time hiking and exploring the deep holes. There were guys jumping off the cliffs across from us, so it was neat watching them as well. And just as we were about to leave, a bald eagle flew right in front of us. It was amazing, and the girls were awed at the size of our national bird--as was I!!

After hiking back to our cars, we left for a game of mini-golf. Most of them had never been before, and it's always such a thrill to introduce new adventures to international students. We all had a great time. Lianna's house was near, so after stopping by her house to meet her family, we drove back to the cities.

What an amazing time and a great opportunity to build relationships. I will always love each of them.
