I woke up about an hour before we had to be downstairs for breakfast. I got up out of bed and did everything that I had to do, then went downstairs and had hot chocolate. When breakfast was ready we all went to our tables. We got asked questions so we would see who would eat first, my table won. After we got our food and was done eating along with everybody else we all did the ort report song again. All of the students went up to get ready for hiking. Once we were ready we meet our people outside. Today we would be going from the bottom of the mountian to the top, this would be called Movement, one of the 5 Themes of Geography. Then moving back down again on a different mountain. So we all got into our groups and headed up the mountain. My group went up Cardigan and down Firescrew. Our trail guide, T.J ( who was a different guy because Toby got sick) did not want us to eat at the summit because it would be too windy. So we ate lunch on a little overhang with a great view of Firescrew. Then we continued to climb up the mountain. On the way we took a lot more sketches done. When we got to the top of Cardigan we did some more sketching done, took pictures, talked for a bit then headed back down the mountain. After all the hiking, we were late for break so I did not get to shower durring that time. After a little break, we had dinner, then we went out and sat around the fire. We sang, learned how to make a duck call, and heard a story before we went inside. Mr. Woolner read us story before we went to bed.
