If you're a regular follower of this blog, you know of my affiliation with a young men's service club in Chamberlain. I have posted about the Explorers in the past.
I want to thank to St. Joseph's Indian School houseparent Andrew who authored this post on the St. Joe's blog about the Explorers' trip to Kansas City for a pair of Royals-Rockies games last week.
While he wrote it from the perspective of the seven St. Joe's Explorers (the group with whom he was charged with responsibility), I think he captured the experience for the twenty other members of the group as well. I know the part about being happy to be at the ball park rather than in the classroom was unanimous!!
I was pleased that the twelve eighth graders in the group got to experience the "hat trick" of Explorers trips: they visited Target Field in Minneapolis in sixth grade; they visited Coors Field in Denver in seventh grade; and then Kauffman Stadium this year.
Andrew described the ball park experience well but he didn't mention the food. It is pretty amazing how much ball park fare (read junk food!) 12-14 year-old boys can eat in 24 hours! AMAZING!
Thanks Andrew for a great post on a great group of young men!!
