If you’re looking to read the first part of my trip, it’s the post below this one!

Edit: Like my new CSS?

The morning after the Night Hike, we had scrambled eggs for breakfast. Yum! Only one thing – I really wanted ketchup. xD Yes, I put ketchup on my scrambled eggs! It’s delicious! Anyway, after breakfast, I had Rowboats – what I was waiting for the entire trip. We walked down through the woods and onto the beach where the lake was. Of course, we had to put on life jackets that made us feel fat. xD I got in a boat with Kylie and Julianna. (I barely know either of them – but if you remembered my one post, Kylie’s brother is the one that died.) Kylie said that her grandma had a rowboat and she always rows in it, so we let her row first. She made it look so easy, so halfway into the ride, I tried rowing. I sucked. Bad. So I gave the ores back to Kylie and we rowed around the lake. It was super relaxing, especially when it was quiet and you could hear the water falling down the waterfall that was down the lake. The lake water was somewhat cold – at Water Ecology we took the temperature and it was about 63 degrees. On the boat ride, we also got really close to some turtles. I’d rate that about 9/10.

After Rowboats, I had The Amazing Race. Well, let me tell you something, it wasn’t so amazing. We sat in a field for a little bit going over what we had to do in the race – tie a complicated knot, then build (but not light) a fire, and finally establish a tent. The teacher split my group up into 2 teams, I was lucky to get the green team. xD So we started racing. I did fine with everything, but I really was low on energy because I was hungry, bored, and it was super hot outside. (Okay, it was only 70 degrees, but that’s hot for where I live! xD) The other team won because at the last minute we had some complications setting up the tent. I would rate that about 3/10, because I did learn a lot.

Next I had Low Ropes Course I. It was so much fun! We went down into a course in the woods. The first obstacle was getting across a big cargo net that hung from 4 tall trees. We had to get in by being lifted up and then flipping into it, then getting to the other side without touching the ground, and then flip out of the net. I was a little worried about the entrance and exit, but I did fine. I got rope burn on my neck, but it went away quickly. It was actually fun. Oh, I can’t forget the highlight of that – some popular girl went into it… and her pants fell down in front of EVERYONE. Funny, funny stuff. The rest of the Low Ropes Course was equally fun. We did stuff like getting across a bunch of tire swings and walking across a wobbly log without falling off. I would definitely rate that 10/10!

After that, I had lunch. Grilled cheese, yummeh! And then, how convenient – I had Low Ropes Course II after lunch! Yay! It was a lot more challenging than the first course. We did a trust-building excercise where we had to walk across the balance beam backwards and with our eyes closed, only trusting the spotters next to us. We also did a “remote island” thing – there were 2 platforms, one was the “remote island” and the other was the platform where the “helicopter would come to rescue you.” There were 13 people in my group and the platform was only like 2 feet by 2 feet! What we had to do was swing on a rope from one platform to another (they were maybe a little more than a yard apart) without touching the ground. We also couldn’t slip off the platform. It was hard, but we made it! Something I also enjoyed was where there were 2 poles and a metal pole connecting them. On the metal poll was this life-size spool (you know, like a thread spool?) that we had to hop onto and get across to the other side on. I got a bad scratch on my arm using it, but it was so fun – when you sat on it and it rolled forward you fell so quickly and it felt like Disney’s Tower of Terror. I would also rate that 10/10.

Then we had dinner. Chicken pot pie, yuck. I just ate bread and butter the whole time… The dessert that night was delicious, it was Apple Crisp… baked apples with cinnamon & nutmeg oatmeal! I didn’t want to stop eating it. That night was DA BOMB! First we had a hayride. It was sort of a ripoff because my group was the first to go and it was still light outside. Luckily, though, I got to go on it with Mandie and Jasalynn! We were stuffing hay in this kid’s hoodie, ROFL. Then I took a piece of hay and said, “Once upon a time, there was a little hay stick. He hated life and wanted to commit suicide. So he jumped off a building and died.” I put the stick on the edge of the wagon thing and it was super close to blowing off, but at the last second I grabbed it and said, “NEVERMIND! I wanna keep him!” And stuck him in my pocket. You had to be there… xD Next we had folklore. I won’t say what we heard about, that would give away where I live… Let’s just say, it was creepy walking back to my cabin that night. xD After that, we roasted marshmallows around the campfire, sang the Spongebob campfire song, and made s’mores. I had a good time! Last but not least… the thing we’ve all been waiting for. THE PILLOW FIGHT. Muahahaha! There were a ton of ties, but the score in the end was girls 4 and boys 4. My science teacher was in charge, so he said we’d settle it by seeing if the girls or the boys got an overall better score on the upcoming science test. BOOOO! If you were wondering, yes, I did participate in the pillow fight, and I tied. xP

TO BE CONTINUED… AGAIN!
