Eagle Bluff

Survived my first Night Hike!


A few weeks ago, I went on the 6th grade annual trip to Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center in Lanesboro, MN. We left Tuesday morning at 7:30 (with a stop in Rosemount for one of my students to get her medicine that she should have already taken...). We returned Friday at 3:30. This was my second year going on the trip. I had so much more fun this year. I think it was just knowing what to expect that made it better. We were pretty much drama-free, which was nice. Last year we had lots of girls that had drama about EVERYTHING! I had a chance to be on the Tree Tops Rope Course three times throughout the week. It was easier to get through the course this year, except for the ice on the wooden planks and wires Thursday morning. I also co-led two night hikes through the woods. I definitely got my exercise with them! It was nice to come back to my boys...just not to teaching!
