On Sunday, we had a picnic and games, courtesy of our counselors and hosts. On Saturday, students toured the Lincoln Home, the State Capitol and Lincoln’s Tomb. Stephen DiBenedetto, an intern at the Chicago Sun-Times, gave them a tour of the pressroom and told them about covering state government.

Luke Karmazin and Eric'el Johnson proved to be pretty competitive in the egg toss, being the last ones with an unbroken egg.
