Explorer Week with 7th Grade (EMHS)

Here is a picture of some of the kids and me at Jefferson Rock in Harper's Ferry.

This past week my dad and I went on Explorer Week with EMHS's 7th grade. My dad was driving the bus for them so I could come for his payment. I knew almost all the girls in the class from soccer and long-time (since 4 or 5 yrs. old) relationships. We went on the C & O Canal Trail to Harper's Ferry, Virginia. That was fun, but it was raining the whole time we were riding and at Harper's Ferry. So that took a lot of fun out of it. After that we went to the 4H center we would be staying for the next 2 days in Front Royal. I got to bunk with some of my best friends, Sylvia, Abby, Bailey and Sylvia's mom Lynette. When we got there everybody took a shower because we were soaked and covered in mud! It was very refreshing! Since it was rainy we had to move some things around. That night we had a talent show which was very fun to watch (hint: I didn't do anything) there was numerous people who played piano. Sylvia was one of them and did awesome. Sara and Kathryn played the piano as well (2 other girls I know from Weavers.) There was a improvisation skit that was pretty cool. One group did the game show A Minute to Win It. Then we watched a movie or play games till 10:30 and had to get to bed to rest up for a day in D.C.. The next day we kinda woke up at 7:00 had breakfast and headed to Washington D.C.. We went to a couple of museums and eat lunch at the old post office then went up to the top of the tower there. Which was really cool! After we got back on the bus and headed back. We played a game of capture the flag that people cheated in so wasnt as great as I thought. The next day we had a relaxed morning and then went to see the play Harvey at Wayside Theater. It was about a man who made big impacts on peoples live with his imaginary rabbit, I will let that speak for itself. Then we got lunch that the school payed for. WE went back to the 4-H center and then went on a hike. We headed home after that. I had a blast!
