Wake up for the boys.

Today started off with a little heavy metal ditty by Godsmack for the boys. It was sweet revenge for keeping me up until 12:45. I have a feeling that they may want to be asleep a little bit earlier tonight. However, their energy level today has been extremely high. Mrs. Hennessey does tell me that a few of the girls stayed up late chatting and then got up before the adults. Trust me your child will be very tired when they get home.

We have set up a showering schedule so the kids will at least smell better than the cabins do. Dirty clothes are everywhere. For some reason the boys think it's a pillow fight free for all every time we go back to the cabin. The girls have had a pillow fights but I think not as rough as the boys.

After a delicious breakfast of pancakes and sausages the kids went into their field groups and came back pretty wet. Luckily, we did not have the rain that you had at home. As a matter of fact as of right now it has barely rained.

The girls have been beautifying themselves with mani/pedis. At least that is what the female adult chaperones are telling me. They have also been dancing quite a bit and doing girly things.

Some of the kids went on a deer survival hike, published the NC News, Floated Yo Boat, built a rope bridge, and dropped eggs wrapped up in napkins to see how high they could go before they broke. During transition time Mrs. Hennessey and I played basketball against a couple of the students. We both needed oxygen and lots of water after that. The kids are having soooo much fun.

Tonight was taco night. The kids seemed to like it. They are going on a night experience hike in which they go for a walk with no flashlights and discover various ways light can be created. Then it back to the dining hall for quiet sing. After that we will all go back to the cabins and the kids will be going to the bed at a decent time.  Good night.
