Summary: The One Hit Wonders

SUMMARIZE: Since my last entry, my group worked together during our final weeks of this class. First, we did our last ultimate reward challenge together. Even though we lost, we still had a lot of fun. Jacie built a puzzle while being blindfolded, and Lily used her nose to grab Vaseline and cotton balls.
