Bill and Daniel say checking in

We were asked some questions. Our buddy team is a team from South Korea. We agreed to help them and have fun with them. They are in our same division, but have a different long term problem. So, we don't directly compete with them. We were able to watch their performance today. They did great. Mrs. Long had to take them to their spot. Our rental cars helped out. Lucky for us that our site is kind of right accross the street, but this gave us a chance to see where the second grade team will be doing their presentation.

We had another full day. We unpaked our set and ran through several times this morning. then after watching the Korean team we went to the creativity festival. It is hard to describe, but it was in this big track and field house each state and country had a booth with games and challenges. There was some cool stuff in there. It was amlost as hot today (94). There are very few places air conditioned.

Another question was about the dorm. Our rooms have 2 beds, 2 desks, and one dresser. No carpet, no air and only two outlets. Our parents say this is normal. We think that they are joking. Nothing like a hotel. The bathroom is down the hall. We share with everybody else. Fire alarm is going on we have to go.

We also have to give a great big thank you to Margo Montooth, Simis School Secretary. She spent many, many hours making reservations, ordering landyards, counting and depositing the money donations for the OM Simis team. There were many times she was asked to make last minute changes and additons with reservations for hotels, transportation and making sure the team had a place to stay when they were in Michigan. Without all her hard work this would not have happened. Margo you are the best!This took time away from her daily schedules and deadlines. Margo - You deserve some of the the glory, too!!
