TB-MTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was my first day of training to be a Summer Museum Teen Volunteer @ Turtle Bay Exploration Park! (TB-MTV) We had a tour of the whole thing: the museum, Paul Bunyon's Forest Camp, the mill house, the butterfly house, and we crossed the Sundial Bridge to eat lunch in the new Arboretum. One of the best parts was getting to go into all of the STAFF ONLY rooms. :-)
Tomorrow we will be trained in six stations (the little temporary booths of fun stuff to learn from). Then my first real shift is on Thursday the 16th from 10am to 1pm. Each hour I will be at a different station. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time! The people in charge are really nice though so I shouldn't have any problems. My Shift Leader is really nice, his name is Wyatt, he has been volunteering for 4 years, and he's about two heads shorter than I am! He's probably only 13 or 14, I don't know. He certainly knows a lot about the stuff in the museums though! And another Shift Leader is Jessica! At least there is someone I know! (Jessica was in my play; she was Miss Gribsby and Moulton the gardener.) She is really sweet and nice. I was so thrilled to see her! I also saw Hannah's friend Callie, but I don't know her very well.
I met some new people too! Briannah and Katarina are sisters who are 14 and 13, home schooled, and they live in Bella Vista. They are very nice and both VERY talkative!:-) I also met another girl named Katy; she is 13 and goes to Shasta High. Her mom is making her volunteer, but I hope she enjoys it anyway. Jessica, Briannah, Katarina, Katy, and I had a grand time eating lunch together! It was lots of fun!
We also saw the new frog exhibit (A Chorus of Colors). It was sooooo awesome. Frogs are so cool! There were the tiniest little yellow frogs to the huge fat greeny brown frogs. And each container where they were kept had their own little natural habitat going. It was fantastic. I highly suggest that you go see it! Especially on any Thursday from 10am to 1pm. And If I am not at the museum, run around and try to find me somewhere else!!! I will be wearing a green Turtle Bay Volunteer shirt. :-) [I already saw the Williams today. (Tyler, Lindsay, Natalie and Mrs. Williams)]
