Another La Croix First...

Totally forgot to mention this yesterday, but definitely worth mentioning...
Lights out every day is at 11pm, but it seems to be a very difficult task to get the kids to go to sleep - especially the boys - even though the rest of us are totally exhausted.
The first night we were here (after meeting at La Croix at 5:30am for quite a long road trip), lights out was at 11:15pm, as they are trying to fit in a few extra details. As it turns out the big detail is that the Youth Works staff comes around to each sleeping room and reads over the rules of safety for the week.
Apparently, our fearless male leaders - JT and Windall (this is Blake's first year, so he didn't know any better) - forgot about this minor detail and went ahead and turned the lights out early, in attempt to get the boys to calm down.
When the Youth Works staff came by to read the rules, they turned on all of the lights and nearly all of our boys were already asleep! Now, this could be the first time ever that the boys would have all been asleep, giving our adult leaders an opportunity for a full night of rest.
But thank you Youth Works for bringing that 'first' to an abrupt halt!!!
