Before we moved I went to the library and looked at pictures of the Arctic circle. There was mostly just pictures of glaciers and very cold looking water. There was one though that I couldn’t quite shake from my mind. It was a wooden pier stretching out into a dark sea with big chains chunks of ice bobbing in it. Snow and chunks of ice on the wooden pier too. I wondered who would walk out there and why. There may have been boats sometimes. But the ocean looked super rough. I imagined being freezing cold and feeling seasick while sitting in a boat full on slippery stinky fish. I wondered if maybe you could wear a wetsuit and swim, but even that didn’t seem like a whole lot of fun. I was wondering what there was to do outdoors. When I asked Mom she said that we would be indoors. You mean the whole time? I asked. She said yes the whole time and that was when I found myself freaking out just a little bit because I am a person who really likes to be outside. I couldn’t quite imagine it. That’s when Mom told me that I shouldn’t worry because there would be lots to do.
