Me, Catherine, & Miguel

Alex and I even ran a little to warm up it was so cold...little did we know what was to come!

Matt gave away most of his clothes to people who were cold that night...so he was left with his no shirt and his little junior-sized fleece sleep sack...Shannon's wearing his sweatshirt...Gretchen is also bundled in a fleece thing, and I'm, well, just trying to make myself presentable.

Miguel only brought a blanket from the hotel, thinking that it was going to be warm at night. The temp dropped dramatically that night, so he had his feet under different people's sleeping bags throughout the night!

Starting to warm up!!!
