Farmstay 2 - Day 7

By Nuria

            Today the day began like all of the others, except that instead of 4 people going to do farm chores there were 8 because we switched who was going to do farm chores. Then it was make-your-own breakfast. Then came math- where most of us were doing practice sheets. After, we split up into 2 groups; Donna’s group went to the red barn and carried 100 bales of straw into the barn. Andy’s group mapped out where they would put new signs to put on the trails, and then went on a few of the trails. After Donna’s group was done with carrying the straw they came back and made a delicious Risotto for lunch. Right after lunch we began to work on our Microeconomy Crafts. Each group worked hard and deserved a break, we went over to the pond and played broomball, most people enjoyed it while others would rather have been playing soccer. Many people fell down on the ice and brooms were scattered on the ice. It was really fun but also tiring. We came back and did our daily chores and then cook crew began to prepare a meal of: chicken, vegetables, and bread. We then enjoyed a cake made by Helen and began study hall. We had our evening meeting and went off to our dorms for bed. Overall it was a wonderful day full of laughter and fun.
