When I heard the knock on the door, I knew we were in trouble. I jumped down from the top bunk and rushed out — we were running late. My apologies to everyone I kept waiting. You’d think the second alarm would have done its job. We made it to the horse carriage tour just in time, thankfully. Upon our arrival, I asked Helena for some hair ties to braid my hair and tame the nest of strands before the horses mistook it for hay. I gathered myself in the restroom and walked on over towards the gate.
Once we arrived at the stables, I ended up being separated from Kira and Candice. They didn’t even notice until halfway through the ride! After getting over the split, I enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Cindy, shared fascinating facts about Acadia and I asked her a few questions of volunteer work in the park. Her knowledge of the moss and trees stuck with me — she was fantastic. By the afternoon, I was wiped out. I took the van back to the KOA and listened to Gracie Abrams while reflecting on everything we’ve done so far. Later, Kira and I picked up warm lobster rolls from the Islander Shack. We brought them to the shore and had breakfast by the water while sharing a warm conversation about our siblings. The rest of the day was spent working and catching up. Despite the chaotic morning, I’d say we pulled it together. Now I’m getting ready for bed, hoping the alarm does its job this time.
