Day 2






We woke up at the crack of dawn so we could eat breakfast and start heading to the Gateway Arch. As soon as we got there we took our first group picture on the steps by the Arch. We then went through security and had the options of going to the museum or to the gift shop. After looking around for a while we got into groups of 5 to go up to the top of the Arch.
We got to the top and looked down at the heart of St Louis. We then went back down on the tram to go back to the coach. Once we were on the bus Marietta then told us some fun facts about St Louis. After that, Caitlin Conley and David Jones told us some of their Kansas chants to rock the house at the 4-H Center. We stopped in Effingham to eat and go to Wal-Mart if needed. We had to be back at 12:25 but a bunch of kids were late so Marietta started a new rule that if you're late you have to pay 25 cents to the petty cash box.

Sherry then read off 6 cards saying 3 truths and 1 lie about random people. After that, Spence picked out a movie and we watched "Taken" till we stopped in Indianapolis, Indiana for a bathroom break. Alex told us some random facts about 4-H. Majority ruled once again, so we watched National Treasure II. After driving for awhile we finally made it to Grove City, Ohio where we went to the hotel. Once
we got to the hotel we split up and went to eat. At 9:15 we got together for reflection time.

Reflections:
Marietta imitated 2 ladies laughing out in the lobby.
We went over fire rules.
Marietta made a new diddy!
We then went over tomorrow's game plan.
Alex got pooped on by a bird on his hand.
Daniel Martin got walked in on in a restaurant bathroom.
Jessica Brauer thought there could be more info at the top of the Arch.
Wade thought it should have been bigger at the top.
A group of guys went to White Castle and Chris Davis, being the architect that he is, made a tower out of empty hamburger boxes.
Dani Lockhart attempted to teach a group a Kansas chant.
Alex and Caitlin also taught a Kansas chant.
