Everyone, well all most everyone, woke up bright and early for the early bird activities this morning. While some people had the misfortunate opportunity to wake up to Lane's pounding on doors, others slept in. Participants enjoyed Ships and Sailors, Kickball, and basketball. Once everyone worked up their hunger, they ate a wonderful breakfast.
Then the delegates attended committees meetings where they had a wrap-up session of their activities. Next, the Kansas delegation traveled to the beautiful National Cathedral. This tourist attraction amazed everyone with articulate Gothic architecture and the awesome fact that Bob Dole was married there.
After touring the cathedral, the group trekked back to the 4-H Center to eat lunch in the Clover Cafe. The CWF delegates broke into discussion groups to comment on various issues in today's world. Then the Kansas 4-Hers gathered in their delegation room to formulate action plans for a community issue. Jeff, the PA, made the comment that Kansas has had the best action plans yet.
Once dismissed from delegation discussion, everyone changed and primped for cultural heritage night. This year the KS delegation dined at Toby's Dinner Theater, where they enjoyed delicious food and the production of "All Shook Up." The entertainment was filled with bight costumes, amazing voices and humor. While at the theater, Marshall was said to have been a gentleman, pulling out chairs and standing up for the ladies when they left the table. Before leaving for Toby's, there was a lint rolling party in Jared's room with Michael B. in charge and Gabriel, Marshall, and JD present.
Of course, there were a few moments to remember...Surprise Surprise, they involved Hope. Molly and Jared got her to believe the torch on the top of the Library of Congress was a spare for the one the Statue of Liberty holds. Also, during delegation action plan discussion, Hope thought Gabriel could really write in Japanese.
While our days in Washington DC are coming to an ed, the bonds of friendship everyone has made have just begun. The memories in this trip will last a lifetime and I know the friendships will too!
