Hi, I'm Billy Herrmann. You might know my sister Megan. She is IN 6th grade at KMS. How cold is it up there. Are you homesick yet? I saw a picture of you and your family on the internet. Is it hard to go to the bathroom up there? Good luck doing the rest of the experiments.

Hi! It is about 7 below zero right now. It would feel really cold if we didnt have the right gear on!! I really do miss my family very much. I will be sad when I leave here, because it has been fun and I met some very nice people, but at the same time, I am counting down the days until I see my family again (9 days to go)!!! Going to the bathroom can be a challenge sometimes. If we are working at the lab, we have to get all of our cold weather gear on to go to the outhouse. If it has been windy, we have to shovel out the doorway before we can go!! If we are lucky, and are in the "big house," we have a regular bathroom we can use.

Thanks for your questions!!

Mrs. Airaudi
