Ah, woken to the sweet sounds of Motley Crue at 7 am. (Enjoy the video) I think you parents should try it, it works. Last night was a relatively quiet night, until we got back to the cabin. They probably went to sleep around 11:30 and few of them are paying for it today with their tiredness. We warned them. Mrs. Hennessey said the girls were the same. They'll learn.
The consensus is in: the food here is the best they ever had. Sorry to all of the family cooks. We started our day with pancakes and sausages. Delish!! For all the parents who can't get their kids to eat veggies, they love the salad bar. When the waitron, the person that acts as the waiter for the table, finishes his or her duties they participate in a cool dance related to ORT. What is ORT you ask? ORT is all the food that is wasted at each meal. The staff here weighs is records it on a chart to show the kids how much food is being wasted. After the ORT report the kids participate in “entertainment”. This is when one of the counselors get up a sings a song in which the kids participate in. They do it after every meal. Don't be surprised if your son or daughter comes home singing about a squirrel with a bushy tail that sticks peanuts up his nose.
Today they had a variety of classes that ranged from making water rockets to, of course, dissections. They made a couple different geodomes. One they could climb on, the other was much larger but not as sturdy. In between classes they are playing basketball, tennis, soccer, tetherball, and basically having a lot of fun. The weather has held out for us so far but tomorrow for the long, four hour hike is not looking to promising.
Tonight they are having the night experience. They will walk around the woods and learn about the stars, how wintergreen lifesaver spark in the dark among other fun activities.
