The Fork and Flick

The CDL was a little bit slower today, however we were still able to screen a few children.  The children we screened were younger, therefore it was more difficult to keep their attention. This really enforced the idea we need to be energetic and animated to put the children at ease and keep their attention, which is an area we keep improving upon.  During the screening today the way in which we worked  truly seemed professional, I feel that we really have grown as individual students, and as a group.

After the CDL we took a small break to relax before heading off to Fort Boonesborough.  Fort Boonesborough is the Reconstruction of the fort which was once built by Daniel Boone and his follows.  Daniel Boone founded the site when we was working for Richard Henderson clearing a way through the Cumberland Gap.  We really found interest in the site.  It was almost like a reenactment village because in some of the log cabins there were individuals dressed in clothing from the original time of the fort showing traditional skills such as woodworking, candle making, ceramics, and weaving. Dr Johnson, Melinda and I also attended an orientation video on the fort which gave us a basic overview of the fort and the surrounding troubles. 

After Fort Boonesborough we went to Richmond were we had some ice cream shakes and caught a Movie. Finally we ended the night by going to a local eatery which really exceeded our expectation from when we first arrived.
