Pittsburgh MCG - Tae - Day 1

Early this morning we departed from Pittsburgh, PA. My first time on a plane I’m terrified nervous but still excited. The first plane, I cried during take-off and landing. But the second flight I didn’t shed a tear!!

I’m happy to say that we arrived safely to Bozeman, Montana.

We met up with Jess our instructor who is awesome and pretty funny. We picked our rooms then took some time explore. When Michelle called us in she had an obstacle course for us. We blindfolded one of our teammates and then the rest of the team (3 kids) guides them thru the course only using our voice. I came up with a plan to “follow my voice.”  My team tied with another but in the middle I heard them catching on and I knew we had to hurry. We didn’t beat them but didn’t lose. Michelle made us to do it again only we had to the on the side line and shout direction from there.  My team came last because I got mixed up with my left and right. After we talked about teamwork and communication. After everyone showered and we had our first dinner together. And now we can see where we go from here……
