Happy Thursday!! This week is flying by. The children are having a blast. This morning started with, of course, a nice melody to wake up to from Metallica. Breakfast was great. They had the least amount of ORT because it was pancakes and sausages. Then they got play what is deemed the biggest game of tag in NH, Predator vs. Prey. First, they talked about food chains and food webs a big group. Then the kids were broken up in groups of different animals. As the game progresses the predators need to tag the prey. Then the prey now becomes the predator. They do this for an hour and a half.

I must say these kids are not neat freaks. As you look at the photo album you will see pictures of what a disaster the room (Aborn boys) looks like. And talk about the smell. Gross. Parents, I don't envy you washing their clothes. I think you'll have to fumigate their shoes.

After a meal of hot dogs, mac & cheese and chili con carne for lunch we celebrated Ashley's birthday with a couple cakes for dessert. Thank you Mr. Folan for supplying everything. The studetns headed into their field groups and practiced their skits for Thursday Night Live. Class selection today consisted of shark and rat dissections, float your boat, forest fires, and mini structures. Make sure you ask your child about the classes they took up here. I'm sure they'll have a lot to say about them. I watched the rat dissections and must say YUCK!!! However, the kids were cutting limbs and its insides without a problem. The skits tonight were hysterical. Everyone did a great job. Our hosts Rufio and Flynn also did some really funny stuff. I think we do have some future actors in our midst. Mrs. Hennessey was able to spider web the boys cabin while we were at TNL. Needless to say the boys want revenge. Perhaps tomorrow. Good Night.
