2013 Day 1-Downtown

(As told by Liam and Patrick)

Today we left for the summer trip. We met at the airport this morning. After we had our baggage checked and went through security we were ready to get on the plane. Finally we were able to get on the plane. On the plane we did a variety of things, we worked on oceanography, played electronics, read, and slept.

After four hours we got off the plane. We were in Seattle! When we got into Seattle we stopped to have lunch in fountain gardens. After lunch we visited the famous Space Needle. As we were coming down from the Space Needle we saw a bunch of zombies, Yikes!

Then we drove to downtown Seattle. In downtown we visited the fish market. We had walked around for an hour when we realized we lost Will and Wiley. After looking for ten minutes we decided to call them. Once they assured us that they were safe, we went to meet them at the ferry, Thank Heaven! (Scoutmaster Note: To be clear, they were also with Mr C.)

When we got to the ferry gates, we saw Mr. K behind bars. Then Liam, Matthew, and Patrick somehow appeared at the other side. When they tried to come back the gate wouldn’t budge. At the ticket stand Mr. S bought three extra tickets anyways, because a Scout is always truthful, even when they go off the trial!

On the ferry they fed some seagulls with Mr. Kane’s homemade bread. When they got to the other side the Sr. K’s and Mr. Ulrich welcomed them for dinner. Mr. Ulrich was very nice and gave us patches and a book about the birds of the Olympic peninsula. They had the best dinner of hamburgers, hot dogs, fruit, beans, chips, and soda. And extra we had Copper River salmon from the fish market. After dinner we thanked our hosts and Mr. Ulrich then headed to our campsite. Along the way we told jokes and listened to some music. At the campsite we set up our tents and hammocks and went to sleep. That’s how our first day went.
