Day 5 - Wide Awake

This picture doesn’t have everyone in it, but it pretty much sums up how the dig went for the wide awake clan. We are the swamp people of Handley High School (tours are $5 a person). Anyway, Heather was usually capturing a funny moment to post on her snap chat story. As you can see, Ken and Jenae had made it as far as they were going; they were going to live to tell the story if something happened to us (lol). Elizabeth and I were laughing about something most of the time. In this case, it was because my boot was stuck in the mud and the chances of it coming out didn’t look to promising. At this point, we could barely see Will because he was so far away. I guess we all trusted his outdoor skills when we continued following him through the marshy area (except for Ken and Jenae who were going to be the survivors). Coach Glass surprised me when he too was following Will through the muddy swamp. Apparently, he has different shoes besides his white Nike’s and likes playing in the mud. Devonta, in his polo boots and all, was walking along with Coach Glass and Will. He was a pretty fearless group leader. Mrs. Awbrey didn’t accompany us on this adventure into the swamp, but she was very helpful to our group. On a serious note, the wide awake clan found many artifacts and were in search of more. We were digging in what we believe to be an old house that burned down. We found many broken dishes, old bottles, pieces of a tiny child’s tea set, a bird pendant, and other unique pieces. I would say the dig was a huge success for the wide awake clan. I am glad I had the opportunity to discover historical things and grow closer with my group members. However, I doubt any of us were wide awake after the dig was over.
