Watercolors in the Wind

Day 5/31 of March Challenge

            Have you ever made a watercolor on a trip?

            Have you ever made it in a difficult place?

            Have you ever done it with fast winds coming towards you?

            Have you done it where if the wind blew your paper away it was into the largest hot spring in Yellowstone?

            Well in sixth grade. I did all those things.

            

            We got off the bus at grand prismatic. Janet and Jamie told us we were just looking at it. They were lying. We were doing watercolors there, a task that doesn’t seem that hard, but factor it the winds going very fast, rotating between being freezing and being extremely hot. And it gets harder. We were trying our hardest to get it done with paper flying away, and people everywhere. Just when we thought the wind had stopped it started again. This time not taking paper, but the lunchbox of one of the kids in my group. It flew into the hot spring, landing next to a pair of giant pink sunglasses. Luckily a man had seen it and actually stepped into the hot spring briefly to grab it. We didn’t let our stuff out of our hands again.
