Day 1444: Interviews

Emma, Anna, Clare, Haley, Gwen and Corey entertained me for a half hour with their stories of Quest.  I was all prepared with questions and had new batteries in my voice recorder, but as soon as I pressed record, the message said, "Memory full."  No problem, I used my phone.

They related a few great stories I hadn't heard.  Emma's tale of charging through the games with the bright pink trowel for a girl with "poop" problems was hilarious.   Both Emma and Haley revealed they lost their way during the night when they went out to go potty.   Emma was too embarrassed to use her whistle and Haley had left hers in the tent.  They revealed some of the difficulties they've encountered too.   Gaining the respect of the eighth graders, the first dinner, resisting temptations to goof off.

I wish we could have had more time, but the kids were running off to their call backs, practices and events.  Time with them was really worthwhile and they were so passionate they made me tear up.    Transcribing is quite a job, though, cause they talk so fast!



My lilies are confused by the record high temperatures.
