It is the end of the summer....

Hard to believe but 8 weeks have just flown by! All of the interns will finish up this Sunday, August 7th and will start their senior years of high school about a week later. Where did the time go??? We knew this was going to happen so last week we did an end of the summer trip so all of us could be together one more time. Our day together included taking a boat ride out in Charleston Harbor and out to Morris Island, where we did a beach walk and found all kinds of cool things, like sand dollars and even shark teeth! Maisa found a really big shark tooth! We saw lots of dolphins and they were really close! Kate got really excited about seeing dolphins :) And we definitely got a lot of exercise - everyone was ready for a nap when we were done. Thanks to everyone at Lowcountry Cruises for making it such an awesome day!!!

After some ice cream (and needed sugar), we headed back to the Aquarium where we had our own private sleepover! We made a scrapbook from the summer and even made homemade ice cream (vanilla). We played games and even did some dancing with the Wii - Michael Jackson will always make me remember these girls! They have some dancing skills!
We didn't get much sleep but I know everyone had a great time! It is pretty cool to fall asleep by the Great Ocean Tank. Hopefully, the girls will be back to volunteer or at least visit. Good luck with your senior years and make sure to keep in touch!!!

So next up: another year of the High School Intern Program will be starting up this fall with recruitment visits to local high schools. So if you are interested in applying to be an intern for next year's program, check back to our website this fall for application details and deadlines.
