Invasion of the 8th Graders

One hundred fifty 8th graders from Hawaii Baptist Academy descended upon Pu'u Kahea last night. This is the 100th time their leader, Rob, has brought large groups of students here for retreats. He's a brave man. :) Hawaiian Baptist Academy is one of many, many private schools in Hawaii. We've been told that there are a lot of problems with the public school system here.

These students are having a great time being involved in small group sessions, games, and activities, and they are very polite and well-mannered.

And they LOVVEEE mealtime...

Today, we had less than two hours between cleaning up after one meal and going back to prep for the next.  Art washed piles and piles of pots and pans and... well, I did everything else! :)

And the day's grand finale... Art got to be in charge of lighting the bonfire. Woo Hoo!!

We have a couple of days off coming up, so stay tuned for more adventures!  :)
