Analysis (Start/Stop/Continue)

• Notes: we broke them into patrols and one patrol played water relay while the other played marbles.  Then they swapped.
• Start: Nothing to add, it worked well.
• Stop: Nothing to stop.  It went well.
• Continue: This worked well.  The water relay game worked well to cool everyone down!
