After dinner, we all met over a campfire and played some games that were led by some of the staff. We played a game called "Celebrity" in which we each had to wear a headband with the name of a famous person or character on their headband. We then had to ask others "yes" or "no" questions to help us determine the identity of the character. It was a lot of fun. Some particularly funny ones were Alvin, who was Brad Pitt, Elsie, who was Angelina Jolie, Raymond, who was Chewbacca, and Jeff, who had the hardest time figuring out he was Art Garfunkel. We then did some skits, played more games and then ended with roasting s'mores.
Waiting for the fun to begin!!!

Getting to know each other better.
Some of the younger generation (JJ, William, and Conor) enjoying s'mores!
After campfire we all went back to the meeting room at the lodge and re-introduced ourselves and explained our relationship to one another and our ancestors. Dane was able to put together a genealogical chart, and Eunice was even able to tell us a little bit about the relatives that we don't know as well, since she grew up in Hong Kong. It was a fun first day and we are all looking forward to and exciting week.
