Day one: movement

On day one of the Cardigan trip, we got up early and hopped on a bus. After an hour-ish, we got off and went to a field outside the lodge. (the bus ride is an example of movement) We played games including captain’s coming and some sort of weird baseball. Later, my classmates and I ate lunch, but we were all itching to see our rooms. What seemed like an hour later, we got a tour of the cabin and (finally) got to see our rooms.

My guide, gretchen, told us about all the people that used to live at farms at Cardigan. They moved because of bad things. (another example of movement) Our guides told us we had five minutes to change and get settled, then to meet them back outside. I was rushing so much that I didn’t notice my mom’s old hiking boot was falling apart. Crap. I told Mrs. Baroody and got sent to Mr. Woolner. He gave me hiking boots two sizes too small, but there was no time to get other ones. I limped over to my group, already losing circulation in my feet. We started off our first hike to a waterfall. (the waterfall is also an example of movement) It was seriously beautiful. With a couple of snack breaks and more than a couple of waypoints, we were back at the cabin for free time. At free time I showered, took a nap, and massaged my poor feet. I also got new, bigger boots. (Hallelujah) Then before I knew it, it was time for dinner. Garrett’s group set the table as the others played apples to apples, a very fun game. Dinner was pasta, and it was pretty good. After dinner, we got our pajamas on and listened to stories. Then we went off to bed and got a good night sleep.
