June 29th


We woke up refreshed today due to a much needed extra hour of sleep. Marshall started the day off with a bang when his cereal exploded all over the breakfast table. Although the explosion was exciting, the best thing about the morning was the return of our fearless driver, JACK. YAHOO!!! After loading the bus, we headed to Yorktown to learn about the amazing history of the town. At exactly 3:31, we pulled into the National 4-H Center. We made it the whole way with zero bus breakdowns.
Upon arriving, we met our awesome PA (Program Assistant), Jeff. After dinner we began an exciting evening of workshops, committee meetings, talent show auditions, and the legendary pin trade.
The following are some memorable moments of the day:
Hope was "punked" by Jared...twice. Once when he told her he killed a grizzly bear, and once when he convinced her that the movie, "The Perfect Man," was his own biography.
JD hit his head so hard he was sent to his knees.
Lauren got locked in the bathroom at the rest stop and nobody rescued her.
Gabe revealed his secret identity as a bird whisperer.
Jessica mistook the Buckeyes for Cow Pies.
Devon and Jared were elected into the delegate House of Representatives.
Tomorrow begins our first day in Washington DC. Everyone is super excited and we can't wait to continue on our adventure.
