Day 4 - Last day!
Can't believe it's the last day before we travel back home! Also can't believe the kids are finally getting tired :)
The morning began with an exciting ride along the Fraser River in a paddle wheeler. The tour guide was very informative and the lunch was fantastic!
Fort Langley was next, with a tour of the national historic site and the farm museum. It seems like most kids enjoyed the candy store the most!
Dinner was at the spaghetti factory, followed by a night of speeches and final goodbyes.
See you tomorrow!

Day 3: Happy Canada Day
"When you hear that whip a-poppin"
Thank you to the city of Abbotsford for coming out to see us march in the Canada Day parade! And thankfully some of us remembered the words to the Caribou Road song :)
"What happens in the cadet building..."
After a relaxing lunch outside, it was time for the project showcase. After a wonderful opening ceremony, co-MC'd by our very own Alumni Monica, students stood by their projects and shared their research with the public and their peers.
"Swimming, soccer and fireworks, oh my!"
After a quick dinner, we headed to the rec centre for some swimming, then back to the College for some soccer and treats. We could just see the top of the fireworks behind the trees, and celebrated with glow sticks and freezies and watermelon.

Stop #2: Stave Falls
Riley: "It was cold in there and it was nice in there cause they had all that old stuff, telephones and generators. I thought they would have rotted away."
Stop #3: Sto:lo Longhouse
Sanjeev: "The dance and art stuff was good, the hoop dance. The carving was good, making the little carving."
Stop #4: The Reach
Niall: "It was good, but it was a long day."
