During Charger Trails I think that we did a really good job of sharing our ideas. We planned out the stuff that we did before we started the game. During Hog Calls I think we did really well with the planning of attack. David came up with a really good idea to help pair us up, and then we had tweaked it a bit and changed it. That was how we worked together as a team to accomplish what we needed to do. We were also really good at helping each other cross the Maze and get all of us through without having to repeat the game. We had some really good leaders in our group; Rohin was able to help us remember the path by showing us which direction to go in. We also had good strategist in our team, like the time that Runyon helped us to get across that maze also. He made a map of the right way to get across once someone had already made it across. Finally in the marble challenge we listened to everyone’s ideas and even though we did not get it in the cup we still got the right concept of working together as a team.

My Favorite Character in Seedfolks
Leona’s grandmother is my favorite character in the book “Seedfolks” so far, it may change though. She is my favorite because when all the doctors were telling her to take the medicine that they were offering her she didn’t listen. She believed that her goldenrod tea was the only thing that she needed. Every time one doctor died before her she would keep track and put goldenrod on their graves. I can relate to her because she is stubborn and won’t listen. She believes that the tea is all she needs and won’t listen to the doctors. What is totally ironic is how she lives longer than the doctors and goes to their funerals.
Disney Fantasy Cruise
I would like to visit the Disney Cruise Lines Fantasy Cruise. I would like to visit this because it was really great when I went last time. The place was like a mini Disney World in a ship. They had a mini golf course, a water park, and celebrations that you could attend. The main reason I want to go there is because of the islands that the ship took you to. I went on the Caribbean Cruise. You would stay there for a while and have fun on the islands then meet up back at the ship once it was time to go. I also liked the place that we would stay looking out the window and seeing the water. The first time I went to the Disney Cruise Lines Fantasy Cruise I had a lot of fun and I really want to go again.
