Day+2

4:26 p.m.
===What a great day so far. The day kicked off with a voluntary morning hike at 6:15. During this hike we do a rope activity that emphasizes teamwork. Kids are certainly tired, but their behavior has represented McAuliffe well! Groups spent the day hiking, doing Water Ecology, learning about outdoor living skills, and working on problem solving as a team. Most children are currently swimming and we have a night hike this evening. We are headed to dinner soon, but I will be logging in for the live chat around 6 p.m. (give me a few minutes on either side of that please). I will share the chat transcript with the kids if you just want to pop in and say hi :-) Until then, here are some photos from Day 2 (below the chat box)===

Join us for a live chat from camp on Wednesday evening beginning at 6:00 p.m.

===Thank you all again for participating in our chat this evening. I just shared your messages with the kids and they all walked away smiling, ready for bed. They are definitely ready to be home :-) We just returned from a night hike in the rain where the kids toughed it out and learned about nocturnal animals and their attributes. We are planning on doing our hike to the summit of Eagle Cliff Mountain tomorrow morning (we leave for that hike at 5:00 a.m.). Rest assured that we will not do this hike should there be rain, sleet, lightening, etc. Your child's safety is our number one consideration! I will try to get a quick blog post in tomorrow before we leave for home. Children will have breakfast tomorrow, take their last class, eat lunch, and get on the bus! Thanks again for your support and messages. Good night from a soggy Estes Park!===
