I left last Thursday to take my juniors (and a few seniors) to NOC in Bryson City, NC!
It was BEAUTIFUL!!!
We stopped along the way and had lunch at The Dillard House!
We arrived in NC around 3 and they started exploring the camp area!
They were having their customer appreciation sale so it was PACKED! They had live music, vendors, and a huge sale ~ it was a perfect time to go! :)
This was one of the prettiest places I have been in a LONG time!
That water was FREEZING though!!!
Friday morning, we had a mud run...the old teacher took part and I am proud to say that my group ~ the girls plus one boy ~ WON by 13 seconds!!!!

I would also like to report that I have NEVER been that dirty in my whole life!
It was a BLAST! I did things I had no idea my old butt could physically do! We had a great time!
We had a campfire and made smores ~
typical camp stuff...
White water rafting was a BLAST!!! The rapids were only 2 and 3 ~ I am DYING to go back and do some REAL rapids!!!
This is my favorite picture from the whole trip ~
I am not in this, but Tripp's face is PRICELESS!!!
Our last activity was zip lining and an obstacle course ~ we did the course first and Ansley & I were terrified!!!
I was yelling back to see if there was ANY way I could get down...
Nope.
I had to finish.
It was UGLY but I finished!!! The actual zip lining was fun and the obstacle course left me with rope burn, sore muscles, and bruises! I won't be tackling that again!
My students are the best.
Seriously.
They were SO well behaved and have the best manners! The boys are such gentlemen and the girls are just dolls! I had the best time getting to know them better outside of the classroom setting!
I had a blast but was ready to see my crew ~ I left Jackson home sick with strep...and MD got sick with a bad cold while I was gone! I was so thankful to be back home with all my "chicks" in my nest, but I am planning this trip again already for next year...but taking them with me!!! :)
