Scavenger Hunt and Civilization Museum

We held our annual scavenger hunt today. The students did a great job of finding all of the points on this GPS hunt. There was a bit of a snafu at the Micky "D's". Apparently  McDonald's does not sell their ice cream cones at a uniform price in Canada.  Kara ordered 9 of the items on the menu that best matched the price I gave her. They turned out to be pie instead of ice cream. You can imagine how some of the students reacted when the pies came out instead of the cones. The clerks were sympathetic and gave all of the students ice cream for just $5 more. Thanks to Tiffany all the students had Pie à la Mode. I am very impressed how Kara, Caitlyn and Tiffany handled this. Kara choose to use her French skills to make the order resulting in the clerk making a mistake because she was expecting Kara to speak English. Caitlyn brought out the pies and distributed them in a way that made it seem that no mistake was made. Tiffany bailed out the two girls with the $5 necessary to correct the mistake. This was truly a leadership learning experience, and I proud of our team for pushing through it.

Here is a video that show the scavenger hunt, museum and some shopping we did in the evening.  We were not permitted to take pictures in the museum, but you will get to see an upside down video of some of us in an earth quake simulator.

Tomorrow we will ride bicycles and venture on the ferry to Levis.  Can't wait.
