The kids did great, but mom and dad are totally exhausted. It was blazing hot when we departed the school, so I got dehydrated, sunburned and a fierce headache. Many students also were sunburned, but they seemed happy and energized. Even though we had to hike in town, we covered nearly as much distance as we usually do on Wednesday. We just didn't have to climb the hill up the back of Cockaigne!
Steve did the creek crossing class down at the bridge near the lower pavilion in RJ Park with Jake, Corey and Dustin demonstrating. Then I instructed them on how to respond if they got caught in a thunderstorm.
Brie, Brigitte, and Margaret did an outstanding job of organizing games. They played elbow tag, built pyramids and we used the dowel rods. All but three kids crossed over the rods!
Dinner went smoothly and then the rain started about 6:00. We huddled into the upper pavilion and the student leaders led more songs and games. It was quite wonderful, actually.
Now I must go to bed before I fall over.
