Day 9

More camp prep on Friday. I started to come up with some ideas on how to work cultural lessons and activities into our World Travelers camp, which I enjoyed.

A few friends from church back home were passing through Des Moines, and they stopped by to see me. It was nice for Pat and Diane to stop by and tell them a little about what I've been up to.

So, here comes one of those in as "it's a small world" stories... I was walking to the classroom to put some books back, and I heard a family trying to figure out which way to get to the lions. I walked up to them and told them they'd have to walk around the other way because of construction. They thanked me and asked if I worked here. Yes, I'm actually a summer intern :-) I happened to be wearing my Morningside Swimming shirt today, and the lady saw and asked if I go to Morningside College. Yep. She said her brothers went there and played football. She said one has some school records and was inducted in the hall of fame. I asked for the name and said I'd have to go look at that stuff now... Crazy. Then, I told them all to have a great day. It's a small world.

It was a real warm out all day. The tortoises even huddled up by the tree under some shade for the day.

Kari made us her favorite meal to cook - chicken, asparagus with bacon, some rice with sauce and onions, and fruit. Mmmmmm. Since it had been a warm beautiful day out, we hung out on the deck and in the backyard for most of the night. We even got to roast some marshmallows and make s'mores tonight.... They were delicious.
