Day 2: Odyssey World Finals






Today is our day-o-fun. We don't have any schedules to stick to so we are just going to enjoy as much as we can on campus. We started our day off with breakfast.



Then we decided to go to the pool. I was surprised about the heat in Michigan and the fact that we actually got to go swimming outside. It was wonderful. We all put on our sunscreen and headed for the nice, cool water. Alex made up a game where you pick a category and dunk the person until they guess the right thing in that category. Mrs. Hatfield and Ms. Hughes played handstand choreography which was a game that the students got to tell us what types of handstands to do in the water (for instance, flutters, butterflies, knee bends, open-closes, and twirls). We had so much fun splashing around with our friends.








After swimming, we went to the Creativity Festival. We got to spend tokens on lots of different things like games, prizes, and crafts. When we came home for dinner, we decided to trade pins. Now, if you don't know what pin trading is, you're in for something amazing. We became obsessed with finding that "perfect" pin that we could bring home as our prize. Some pins had themes like Wizard of Oz, Hippies, Cereal Boxes, Vampires and Haunted Houses, Aliens, Fans, and some had fun accessories with things that moved, sparkled, or even sprayed water. This pin trading is serious business.
