Day Four: Layover

   Today we were able to have our layover day. We were able to sleep in and just wake up whenever we woke up. To start the day we had French toast for breakfast and started our relaxed day. The boys on our trip enjoyed being able to fish and we even were able to have a walleye for lunch. Also, they were patient enough to teach some of the girls how to fish as well. There was also swimming, song writing and more lightning questions throughout the day.
   For the campers academic lesson on trail, they all had the opportunity to ask Kelby and I questions. They asked survival question, Laketrails specific questions and of course a few what if questions. We used this time to answer their question and even teach them a few first aid tips. Kelby and I also opened the med-kit and went through every item we carry and explained what they were for and how to use them. A few items we explained what to do if you do not have them or if you run out.
   In the broad daylight today the campers decided that they wanted to hear the end of my story that I told last night so I finished my story and also told them the stories we tell to campers at Laketrails. We filled the rest of our time with mafia. Our mafia games involved accents and from this we developed The Peach Society.
   The Peach Society takes place in the Deep South, and we all lived on a peach farm. Sadly, the mafia was there at our precious peach society and we had to find who the killer was. 
   Today was definitely one of my favorite parts of this trip. I would do a layover day every trip if I could.
