Sundoes and Jaime's Crazy Adventures: Day 4

7/2/09
Sundoes Elbery and Jaime “Unbreakable” Moscoso
Jefferson Patterson Park, St. Leonard, MD
Walking out of the girl’s bathroom, after spending the night there a wave of disaster hit our eyes. Everything gradually went downhill. A severe storm hit our campsite and we had water and dirt in all of our belongings, but we still held it together long enough to eat some cereal and RUN a boat. We learned to steer, navigate, and maintain the vessel.
Without Chris( the coolest RA in the history and prehistory of mankind) on board it was pretty quiet. He was too busy helping dry the tents and sleeping bags from the storm that made everything wet. We stood on the deck of the Mildred Belle for a couple of hours and while we were on her we wer taught to tie knots; the bowline and round turn-two half hitches. We practiced that a couple of times and Aaron of course made a couple of corny jokes while teaching us. He definitely earned the nickname of K-NO. we felt accomplished because we finally can help out with the knots around the boat instead of letting Liz, Matt, or Aaron do it. When we arrived to our campsite most of the tents were dried, but that did not prevent us from having fun. The place was called Jefferson Patterson Park and it was beautiful. We ate delicious hamburgers for dinner and played a great football game. We both tackled people and we were winning until the staff caught us tackling and began to patronize us. We had to play two-hand touch but we still had . By this day we gave Matt a nickname that of Shorty; we first gave him the name of “ the Tall one” but we felt bad and began to call him shorty. At night we gazed at the stars and enjoyed the view since we do not see the stars that often up in Jersey. We both are always enthusiastic and engaged in everything because this is one of the best things we’ve done in our lives and know that we probably would not do it again. We take everything in because we want to honor all of theses moments; we appreciate everything that comes to us and honestly we the crew so much. CTY ROCKS!!!!
