Training Day 4

Training Day 4: January 5, 2012

     Today we woke up, ate breakfast, and packed up to head back to the High Sierra campus! Before we left the cabin we did another life story. Then, we went to see the Sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove! they are so HUGE! We did a mini hike and saw "Grizzly Bear" and "Tunnel tree"...both Sequoias! There was a hole inside of "Grizzly Bear" and I went inside....being inside a tree was something I have never done...and was so neat! We ended up fitting all 5 student leaders in the hole! (we took many pics of course...to be added to the blog soon!) We played around together and finally drove home! (weird that the word "home" changes so often in the college life!)

                                                  I went inside a tree for the 1st time ever!

                                                          and then....we all went in!

                                                                     Giant Sequoia!

    
     We ate lunch together, filled out paperwork, and had another training session. In this one we learned about planning events!  Me and Caity are in the process of figuring out our hall theme and decorations! :) We then went to one of the professor's (Dave Williams') house...but we met in his...TREEHOUSE. yes...I said treehouse. It was a legit 2 story treehouse. We talked about community and expressed how we were going to create it. Um...I am in love with this treehouse...and...I want one. We then headed back to HS and went to dinner at one of the Emerald Cove (the camp that we use) staff's house located on campus. It's crazy living among staff members...but so fun! We ate burgers and got to hang out with these amazing camp staff! We then played a game where you place a person or character on someone's forehead and you go around asking questions to figure out yours! So fun and so comical! We then walked over to Katie Burn's house, finished our last life story, and headed off to bed! First night sleeping in my room! Here I am now, procrastinating the many things I need to get done to write these lengthy blogs! But finally....CAUGHT UP! Tomorrow me and Jeff get to sleep in...and then we are manning the camp while everyone else runs some errands...apparently there's some list of tasks we must accomplish? Guess we'll see what those are in the AM! I keep thing how incredibly blessed I am to be here, be a student leader, and to have this amazing opportunity. I love love love love it! peace and blessings, dear ones. ;)
