we went on a field trip to the killeen daily herald today for journalism club. the kids were actually really cool about it. they didn't have many questions prepared when we chatted about it in the van on the way over, but when we were actually sitting in front of the tour guide, they came up with all kinds of intelligent, relevant questions. it was neat.

camping again tomorrow night, this time with the boys. it's me, 4 male counselors and 18 boys. i have my own little one person tent. should be interesting. cross your fingers.
