Tuesday arrived and everyone was buzzing at the breakfasttable. Quality Living was a daily routine that taught us somevery valuable lessons! After an AWESOME two days of full -onsports we were all waiting to hear who had made the semi -nals!! . Overall we had made it into 11 nals! We came homewith seven 1st place trophies and four runners-up and bigsmiles on our faces, but all VERY TIRED!!!
