^v^v^-> wanderingeverett ^v^v^->: Overnight trip to Lake Dewar and Sovereign Hill, May 1st and 2nd, 2015

This morning we gave our individual presentations to the year 5 classes. This afternoon we are going to Lake Dewar and then Sovereign Hill for an overnight. We went to a YMCA camp at a place called Lake Dewar that the year threes go to. The first thing we did was split into groups and figure out what activities we were going to do. The boys decided to do the Flying Fox which was a zip line that went over a little valley thing. You could do a flip, spin or, go backwards or anything. It was kind of fun and you had to run back with all of your equipment on. After that, we went to the the meeting place and decided to do an activity called the Adventure Tunneling. If you were wondering what Adventure Tunneling is, it is an obstacle coarse inside shipping crates that you have to get through with buckets of water and make it to the end and escape. The girls were not finished with this activity yet when we arrived so we made lots of noise for them. We set a record time when our group did it with a time of 20 minutes! After that we got on the bus and went to Sovereign Hill.

When we got to Sovereign Hill we un-packed our stuff and went into our rooms. I was with Alexander, Tejas, Saul, Armin, Seb, and I. After that we went outside to have pizza. We all where so hungry so we all ate so much. Next, we went to the sound and light show that showed the history of Sovereign Hill. It had voices and things like that and sound effects. There was also fire and explosions. We went back to our rooms and went to bed. The kids in the room next to us kept knocking on the wall so we could not go to sleep. We finally did, and we all happened to wake up at the same time. Someone asked what time it was and Armin said it was 4:30 in the morning. We all groaned and went back to sleep. When we woke up at 7:00, Zander got off his bed and attacked us in the dark so we started playing Monster in the Dark.
We got out of bed and started to pack up, but we were cut off and went to breakfast. It was a nice breakfast, we had cereal, juice, and toast. I was dared to eat a slab of Vegemite, so I did. I put it on the end of my knife with a slab of butter and ate it. I also was dared to have six slabs of butter and jam on toast. After breakfast, we went back to our room to finish packing. Then, we went out for the day to explore. We went into a mine, paned for gold, and did a lot more stuff.
