Sleeping and Skittles on Thursday.

I am catching up with my blog regarding our Rural Experience at Caliche, the K-12 school outside of Iliff, Colorado.

On Thursday afternoon, I was quite spent. I went with Stephen to watch his Storytelling lesson with the 5th graders in Mrs. Roark's classroom. It went over really well and he had some great activities for the kids. They all seemed to enjoy his presentation.

As I said, I was exhausted. At the end of the school day I actually jumped on the schoolbus and rode back home to the Zink's with Austin. (The photo above is mine, taken from inside the school bus) I wanted to get to a bed as soon as possible. We got home at about 4:05 p.m. I was probably asleep by 4:10 p.m.

Brenda had her homemade lasagna ready at about 6:30 p.m. Made with homegrown beef and garden raised tomatoes, it was really good. We then played Skittles. This is an older tabletop game, with a spinning top and little pins to knock down. You know the game... My Uncle had one when I was a kid. It was alot of fun playing with the Zinks.

Then I got packed up and ready to go. We planned on leaving from Caliche as soon as the bell rung on Friday, as we are anxious to get home.
