THE THANG: #1: Go Fish Fitness Game
Concept: Each team “fishes” for cards to make a match 
Setup: Place deck at top of hill / Pax form groups on the field.
How to Play:
1 One PAX per group goes to the deck, draws a card, and brings it back.
2 Each new card drawn = a new “round” of a light exercise for the waiting group.

finish when deck is empty

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
