Amongst all the uncertainty this morning, and the parents relieved to send their precious gifts away for ten days (Oh don’t think you weren’t seen this morning….) , tour began with a sense of adventure. To some of the newbies to this sort of trek, they were great observers of the fanfare that is commonplace to the bus, and then like lost wildabeasts, joined the herd in their frollock of fun. They were also quick to understand that in this herd, there are established rules maintained by the alpha males (Glenn, Brad). At the first roll call this herd had started roughly, but the alpha males were quick to asert the importance of this. By the second roll call the herd had the makings of a well oiled machine, but part of it may be attributed to the grazing session that had taken place before getting back on the bus. A sectional part of the herd once tried to establish there own fort on the bus, but the alpha males were quick to shoot them down in their attempt, claiming visual contact must be maintained at all times with the back of the bus (Some of this may have been hogwash, but the alpha males must feel control at all times). To quickly curb the rising discord, the alpha males threw in the movie Up knowing well that the puny little minds of the herd would be mezmorized by talking dogs and a crazy old man. At lunch grazing time the alpha males split the herd into little groups led by their young protage (also pronounced as: pro-te-jae) to start the brainwashing process of all of the minds. These YAMS as they are called are tasked with leading these recruits down the path the alpha males very well may have taken when they were little. After another long drive, the herd arrived at the Our Savior Lutheran Church. The herd quickly acted as one as rehearsed before and quickly set up to brainwash the minds of the local populace. They were rewarded accordingly with a big meal of italian noodles and were roaring to play. Unfortunautley the local populace was shy to check out the new invaders and only four brave souls arrived to worship. Afterwards, a terrential downpour slowed the repacking process of the herds equitment. Later the herd was unleashed for the night to do what they please as the alpha males layed back for the night….
