| Destination Seven: Getting Reacquianted |

|
The first day we all go back together we went to Dennis's house for a barbaque and then went to the gym to play.
|
During our time together we wanted to do some things that Juneau kids do and swimming at our local pool is a fun winter activity. We went swimming!
|
We had so miuch fun with our sister school ambassadors that we wanted to do something with them that we thought would be really out of the ordinary so we took a limo ride!
