We had a very fun weekend at the LCS Land School. There was a bunch of free time on Sunday to play ping-pong, foosball, basketball, cards etc. The Spooktacular on Saturday went very well. We'd like to thank everyone who came to support Farm Stay 1 and the Land School. We are very sad Farm Stay is almost over.

Sitting on tree roots I listen to the wind.
An old, peely, shiny birch tree placed next to me.
The strong wind is rustling the leaves above and around me.
The dark, rotting, leaves are turning a golden ochre as the sun sets and glistens
between the skinny old trees.
The clouds pass before the sun and you can see how dark and gloomy the forest really is.
A dark past this forest must have,
but when the sun begins to shine and the leaves begin to glitter,
you can see hope in the forest.

Farmstay one has been three weeks to remember! Especially Halloween.
We went bowling in Menomonie, ate pizza at a restaurant called Lucette, then went trick-or-treating in Menomonie as well.
Each mentor group (Jen’s, Andy’s and Shannon’s) bowled together. We all wore our costumes and had a lot of fun playing around. Before bowling, our E1 mentees came to the Land School so we could meet them.
After bowling, we went to Lucette to eat dinner, which was pizza. It was one of the best margherita pizzas ever.
After that, it was time for trick-or-treating. We walked around a few blocks in a small neighborhood in Menomonie, and then came back to the Homestead to sort our candy. We then danced to songs like “Thriller” from Michael Jackson, and then told some spooky stories.
Overall, Halloween this year was amazing. It was super fun being with everyone, and I think everyone should go on Farmstay, especially #1.

Today at the land school we got to see our E1 mentees we played a game of kickball that ended in a score of 100 to 100. Later on that day we got to go bowling, everyone had a lot of fun doing crazy silly new ways to bowl. We all sort of got bored by the end and were ready for pizza. We then went ahead and got pizza. We all ordered some variation of a Margarita pizza. After that we went trick - or - treating, and some of us talked in a british accent, all around it was a pretty fun day.

It’s our last full day of Farmstay. Today is mostly about wrapping up. Cleaning out our rooms and cubbies, finishing up our projects, doing lots of things for the last time. It’s sad, especially for me because I’m an eighth grader. I’ll never get an experience like this again.
Of course it isn’t all bad. Trust me I’m ready for a nice long shower and my own room again. Plus it’s a beautiful day and we have some really fun things planned. We’re finishing our tie dye Farmstay shirts today and we’re watching Mockingjay part 1, the third movie in the Hunger Games series. It was technically supposed to be gallery night but we made a petition so we could watch the movie instead.
Yesterday was really fun too. Our mentees came, which was a lot went a lot better than I thought it would. I was nervous because I had never met either of mine but they were super sweet and fun to hang out with. After they left we got into our Halloween costumes (I was a person from the 80’s) and left for bowling. I won my first game and almost lost my second game which seems to happen every time I go bowling. When we finished bowling we went to pizza at Lucettes. It was tres delicieux. After pizza we went trick-or-treating. That was nice because I got to stock up on candy. We were all on a sugar high for basically the rest of the night. When we got back to the homestead we sorted our candy and had a dance party. I taught Eva and Yasmin a pretty fun dance routine. All in all a very successful night.
Anyway, tomorrow we’re going home. I’ll get to see my friends and pets again but I’ll never get to be here with these people and have this relationship with them again. This ending is bittersweet but I know I’ll never forget the amazing experiences I’ve had here our the amazing people I’ve had them with.
