Day Three -- Wednesday at PLYC

Today, once again was a really good day with the kids.... and by the way we DID compliment them on being such a wonderful group of kids....attentive, respectful, fun...... We still have one young lady who we wish we could get more of a smile from. She is very shy and reserved! She just might turn out to be the one that will tip Gary off his kayak on Friday..... you know you have to watch those quiet ones :-) :-)

This was a "hot day game"..... The kids were broken into 3 teams and each team was given a 2 cup size ice cube. The goal was to be the first team to melt the WHOLE cube. Kids rubbed the ice on their arms, legs, under shirts, ....breathed on it...... One team was called on for cheating.... they broke the ice cube on a tree.. OOPS They were done first but had to take a penalty (which by the way they didn't agree with------).

This was our craft. They were given the "Footprints" poem and made a plaque out of it. As we read the poem before starting the craft --- one young gal had tears in her eyes. What a special sight.

We have "asked" (could say "advised") the kids to say Thank You to the cooks at dinner time. At that time they get their name tag "punched"......that and participation......will be looked at to see whether or not each person "wants" to go on the kayak adventure. So far -- everyone wants to go....some do need a bit of encouragement (on the "thank you")....but Julie is real good at that job. She's had lots of practice :-)

Today we handed out permission slips for our kayaking adventure on Friday.....so the excitement is mounting.

We would ask for prayers for safety for the kayak adventure......for safety for our travel time and....... time on the water and...... time at the cabin having fun and games.

AGAIN-thank you!!! from the 7th & 8th Grade Crew-Gary, Barb, Mike, Julie, Sue and Kathleen
