St. Patrick's Day Research

Yesterday was our annual school ski trip to Mission Ridge.  This morning, more than a few of us had sore bodies.  Needless to say, it was a good time to do some sedentary research.  Below, you will discover some of the questions we asked ourselves today.

For the record, no leprauchauns were harmed in the creation of this blog.
