Day 6

[Written by Chrissy, Gabe, and quotes from the rest of the gang.]

This morning we had a theatre lesson from counselors Kim and Andrew YAY! We started out with a game where someone in the center of the circle had to make some crazy noise and do some crazy action while moving to someone, then the person the moved towards had to repeat the sound/action back to the center and make up their own, etc. It was really fun. Next, we worked on more improv and developing character traits and crutches. Crutches are unique things that characters do.

In the afternoon we took a trip to the Academy of Natural Sciences.
The academy of natural sciences was great !! :] ... first, we got to go "behind the scenes" of the live animal exhibit. We got to see ducks, crowns, OWLS, prairie dogs, umm...a big cute cat. Also, a reeeeeeeally cute thingyatoo! awww i wanted one, and turtles. Anyway, then we went to the dinosaur exibit. that was fun because we got to learn about different bones. after that was this cool room, but im not sure what it was called. there were giant rochhes there !!! gross. the academy was fun :]

Here is what some other people had to say:

“It was pretty cool ,we looked at different things like live animals ....I think that animals are the cutest behind glass but up close they didn't smell very nice. All the dinosaur fossils were cool and really mysterious.”

“… we learned about real animals such as owls, crows, falcons, parrots, turtles, iguanas, snakes, and other mammals. we also learned about dinosaurs, and their close relation to birds of the present”

“The coolest animal there was the Kinkaju. He is related to a racoon but looks a lot like a monkey.”

p.s. it was also hilarious when everybody was singing on the bus. AND when elena and i were makin a nickname and a theme song for everyone. also, josh's song is now my ringtone :] ... anyway that was hilarious.
