Day 847: Quest 2014 One Day Hike

Completed: a highly successful one day hike!  No injuries, drama or serious problems.  Four more kids didn't show up than we expected.  Lots of the tents had inadequate rain flies.  It rained during the equipment check and was windy and cold throughout the day.  But these are minor troubles in the great scheme of things.  Brie and Brigitte led the games and activities with great skill and strength.  The campers do whatever they say!

One of the neatest things that was unique today was that Tyler and Tim came wearing their re-enactment garb.  Tim re-enacts the Revolutionary War and Tyler re-enacts the Civil War.  Both gave the campers a bit of history and described the traits of their uniforms and how difficult it was to be a soldier in those time.  

We are surprisingly tired tonight, more because we slept so little last night than the exercise.  Actually, the hiking is not difficult.  It's the constant barrage of questions and expectations that are exhausting.

12 Kenny Award Nominations!  We got more nominations than any other school!  We scored in every category except best supporting actor.  Michaela- best actress, Matt-best actor, Graciela - best supporting actress and then every technical and performance category!  We are thrilled and so very proud.  Our success is due to the efforts and dedication of hundreds of people and all the preceding productions that taught us so much.

Our fearless leaders!
