We started off the day with circling up and playing a hula hoop game where we all had to hold hands and jiggle a hula hoop around the circle without letting go of hands. We did it three times: 1:39, 1:32, and the last time 1 minute and 5 seconds.
After that we got our journals and wrote up the cost of our expenses and our income. We subtracted expenses from income and we ended up with $21.50 as our profit from last week's brownies and cookie sale.
We split into two groups; one worked on making pesto, the other group made peach jam. Andre calls it 'Space Jam' for some reason no one can figure out, as usual! We cut up two big boxes of peach 'seconds', we blended them slightly, then added sugar and pectin. Then after lunch we processed it while it was hot, and put it in a boiling water bath. At the end of the day, we had make a good bit of pesto, and 70 small jars of peach jam. Triskeles will buy all of this from us for their golf outing.
At lunch we had beef hot dogs, tofurkey hot dogs and turkey dogs, with potato wedges wedges and the sweet potato chocolate mousse we made on Tuesday. We ate our own catchup also.
In the afternoon, one group took a walk down to French Creek and also the basketball courts. Then they cleaned up, while the other group, who had finished the jam, went to the creek. They found fresh watercress growing in the brook.
