Last Day in Camp

June 9th was my last day in camp. It was a pretty relaxing day. I slept in this morning and came to the big house for breakfast. I helped the House Mouse by vacuuming the big house. I House Moused on Wednesday. House mousing entails helping with cleaning, doing the dishes and helping the cooks. I really enjoyed this because I get to be indoors all day with warm hands.

After lunch Jeff and Katie, the Science Techs, let me help with a balloon launch. The balloon launch is for NOAA. The balloon carries a radiosond and an ozonesond. It measures wind speeds and the amount of ozone in the air. They use this to monitor ozon over Greenland. Jeff and Katie filled the balloon with helium in the mechanics garage and then they let me launch the balloon. It was very fun.
