All Boarders' Weekend, Part I

All Boarders' Weekend is a whole weekend filled with activities designed to help the boarding community unite over silly games and laughter. Tonight started with a BBQ on the quad with our day student friends, and then moved on to a Mentalist we brought to campus. Many of the girls in our dorm volunteered to be part of the show: Rowan H., Ellery, Felicia, Riz. The Mentalist was really amazing...I missed the one that Rowan was in but she assures me it was unbelievable.

Ellery had to go into the audience and find two objects and even though the Mentalist was totally blindfolded, he guessed what they were! He also had people in the audience write numbers, names, and locations on index cards and guessed them from the stage. It was incredible! You can see the part Felicia and Riz were in by watching the video...


After the Mentalist, there was an ice cream social and games like Twister and jenga and chess. In-dorm time is at 11:00 tonight because we have a busy day tomorrow! We'll split up in the morning...the new boarders will go to Project Adventure in Beverly with all of the new day students, and the returning boarders will be boating on Lake Cochituate. We'll all then proceed to nearby Kimball Farms, where we'll have another BBQ, an ice cream sundae bar, mini-golf, bumper boats, volleyball, and lots of other fun stuff. I'm getting tired just thinking about it. =)

Until tomorrow...g'night from the Barn!
