Well guys, we made it back to Horn in one piece, so we can
all give ourselves a pat on the back for that! We had our ups and downs but
hopefully we all learned from our mistakes and will use those lessons to become
better outdoor leaders. We experienced so many amazing things in such a short
amount of time and most of those things many people will never experience in
their entire lifetime. We are seriously some of the luckiest people alive. As
much as I hate to admit it, but none of this would have happened without Jeff
and we will forever be in debt to him for that. He would go out of his way to
make sure we are all safe and to ensure that we take away as much as we can
from this program. I could go on and on about the things he has done for us but
I don’t want his head to get to big, so I will just say Thank You from every
one of us Jeff. Now, about today, it was a long hot day in the van, but
excitement levels were high for our return to Horn. After a short but fun visit
to Storer YMCA we finished the rest of our drive back home. Storer YMCA was an
awesome experience. We had the opportunity shadow staff and observe how they
teach and interact with children. I think we had just as much fun, if not more
fun than the kids did. We got to god hold several different reptiles and some
of us even got to make candles. I was even lucky enough to teach a group of
kids about how the Ball Python got its name. Based on the amount of fun we had
with our visit today and the others over the past couple days, I cannot wait to
see what the rest of our professional visits have in store for us. After we
arrived back at Horn we are greeted by Mindy and a few members from last year’s
ECOEE for pizza and to share our adventure with them. This is only the
beginning of a once in a lifetime adventure and we better cherish every second
of it.
It was great getting to meet you all this weekend. May the rest of your trip be as safe and amazing as the first part. Love you Code.
