Today is our day off at Wavy rapids and we got  up to a rain storm and chilly temps that barely broke 50 degrees. Liv and Tyler quickly set up the group tarp for everyone before heavier rains came in. while most people slept in, the LOW team of Tommy, Mariah, and Kolin met with Jeff and Ryan for LOW debrief with Jeff and Ryan. They only cried a little and the rain hid it well. When the rest of us did get up, we made a huge pan of hash browns. We were lucky to have breakfast get done as the LOW's got ready for the feedback section of the day. This week feedback was led by Liv and Joel, they started off with constrictive feedback then ended with positive. After feedback, Jeff announced that he wad postponing tent evals until the weather got better. All we had to do for the rest of the day was stay warm and well fed. Everyone congregated under the group tarp to hang out for the rest of the day, it turned into a huge party. People began to cook all kinds of food and drinks to keep us warm. Kolin cooked one of ECOEE’s famous delicacies, pancake loaf. Shortly after we finished cooking Tommy and I took naps. I awoke to an ECOEE concert staring Tyler on the harmonica. We had people playing the spoons, wash board, and pots and pans. Even when the weather gets bad, we grow closer together. For the rest of the day different snacks were made until we bean to make dinner.  We made dinner as a group with Tommy and me each making a different dish. Tommy made a tvp chili for half of the groups and I made a rice spaghetti with pepperoni. Everyone was to able to have as much of either dish as they wanted get ready for a cold night in the woods.
