Today was a long day of many fun things! Today at 7am we woke up and ate breakfast together in our main hangout room, then we all got ready to head out for a day of fun at Hills and Dales!  We got to hills and dales at about 8:45am and got a quick tour of Hills and Dales before we went to the  activity room and set up everything for our clients to come in and have the time of their life! Our activities included, Reading room where we read to the clients, Painting/Art, and lastly BINGO! After so much fun with the clients, we headed back to Francis house to eat lunch in the Hangout spot. As we finished lunch, we all started to head out to go to the Mississippi River Museum for about 2 hours, Which was very fun! students got the chance to see many fish and pet sting rays and Starfish, which was a huge highlight of the day! We headed back to Hills and Dales right after we finished the Museum, going to work with our clients again. This time with the clients we set up another art room that also had some games! We also set up bowling and a Bouncy house! We spent about one hour with them before we had to head out and go back home. When we got home we started to make dinner which was Spaghetti!  After dinner we headed out to get some great ice cream! But something very sad happened today, The girls Showers Broke! Lucky we found another place to shower so all is well. As the day ended we got together and had our talk time and after that we headed to relax and lights out at 10pm.
