Kid's & Sibs Weekend!

This past weekend was the annual Kids & Sibs weekend here at Mercyhurst! And of course I had my two younger brothers and cousins come visit me for the weekend! Now you are probably thinking, hey that's a lot of people in one apartment - and you're right! It was a lot of people, but the older of my two brothers actually stayed with my boyfriend and his roommates at their apartment. They played video games and goofed around doing "guy stuff".
On Friday afternoon my family arrived and after checking in with SAC we got free pizza for dinner at the Student Union! After that we headed over to hang out with some friends and play a few games of Kan Jam! For those of you who don't know, Kan Jam is a game played with a frisbee, and two small cans with a slot in the front of each. The idea is to try and either hit the can, get the frisbee in the top, or "slot it" by throwing the frisbee through the front slot. If you get it in the slot you win! After a few games of Kan Jam it was time for the "Solo Circus"! The "Solo Circus" was a one man show performed by Michael DuBois. He could juggle, ride a unicycle, walk a slack line, read minds, and escape from a straight jacket! Not to mention - doing several of these at the same time! He was also quite a joker and was really funny! He appealed to everyone there - both the big and little sibs. I have a video of him, and I will try to remember to upload it later this week! On Saturday there was a big wind storm on campus and unfortunately we lost power for most of the morning. However the show must go on! And SAC did just that! The circus in the REC Center went on as planed, even without the inflatable obstacle course it was still a hit! There was a reptile exhibit where I got to hold an American Alligator and a Boa Constrictor! There were free Rita's Italian Ice, cotton candy, animal crackers, popcorn, and circus peanuts to eat! They also had an awesome balloon artist who was making some pretty crazy animals/hats/wings. A face painter was pretty awesome - these were more than just your basic cat and dog faces or a star on the cheek! These were some seriously intricate face paintings and some had glitter too! Oh and did I mention there was a mini golf course set up in the REC too? I'll have some pictures up soon.
This week is a short one, we only have class till Thursday and then are off till Monday for Easter! If you're thinking about touring the campus, the weather in Erie is starting to warm up and flowers are starting to bloom! So call in and get a tour set up!
After while crocodiles :)
