Today we left for our trip to Dubuque Iowa! We left at around 12:05 for our trip in our two cars, One car was Mrs, Deavers and Mrs, Martin as the teachers and the students consented of Paige, Caleb, Brock, Toby and Sydney, While the second car had Mr, Wiltzius and Mr, Berendes as the teachers and the students were Nadia, Ellie, Eloise, Delany, Gabriel, and Mason. At around 4pm we arrived at Francis House, the place we would be staying at for the next few days! After exploring, Unpacking and finding out rooms we headed out for dinner at Freddy's, a fast food place like Culver's. We got back to Francis House at 6:40pm and met up someone from Hills and Dales to Talk about how our service would go. After the person left we started to Figure out jobs. Our grocery crew was Eloise, Delany and Caleb. Our Blogger was Sydney and the person In charge of Photos was Brock. Every else's jobs were not picked yet but would be soon. As the grocery crew left to go get stuff for the week, the other kids hung out and played the Imposter game and Card games. ​ After the Grocery crew got back we put away all of our groceries and we started to prep stuff for our actives at Hills and Dales the next day while listening to music!  But sadly, We forgot Jelly!  Lastly for our day we journaled and headed to bed.
