Today was one of the best breakfasts I think we have ever had this trip! We started breakfast at 7:45 am down in the cafeteria with the Sisters for about 30 minutes, having a great breakfast. After that great breakfast, we headed back upstairs to our rooms to make lunch for later and get stuff ready for later. Then we headed at 9:15 to the Daycare to work with younger kids and played games.  After playing games with the kids, we headed over to the other side of the Place to the Day Hab to hang out, do some fun singing, crafts, bingo, and bring some people to the Museum. After the 4 and a half hours of service we did that day, we headed home, and sadly, we had to cancel line dancing due to the bad weather in Iowa, but we did do something more fun: we did the 2026 ACE Olympics. First place was Ponyboy, Second place was Mudshovel, and third was the teachers.  The games were some mixes of thinking, which was trivia, some were physical, which was bowling, and lastly, there was the ability to work with your teammates, which was very important and something we have been trying to work on all week. After the very long day, we all settled down and relaxed.
