BOBCAT 101

A couple of the kids got to have mini-lessons with Kevin on how to work a Bobcat. They thought it was pretty cool! That's all for Work Day 4. We are exhausted, tired and loving it! We can't wait to share more details about the work we did and some of our adventures!

Today was a looooong work day. This is towards the beginning of the day, so you get a little idea of the 'before'. Plus, Shelby wanted me to make sure her Dad saw her mowing:)

We will be back again tomorrow, but we definitely got a LOT of work done today! You should be VERY proud of our South Summit Youth, they all worked very hard today!

Work Project #1 Complete!

We finished one project today, and the picture of the lady whose house we painted is above. We look lovely and covered in paint:) We finished a little early, so we decided to go to the Gulf of Mexico beach today and grill out. It was awesome! We found an alligator and took a picture with it.

Random quotes from the day:

"I had a nice little nap when everyone was getting ready for the beach, and it was wonderful. Then Kevin threw water on me, and I didn't like that and I was grumpy."-- Nick

"Someone needs to follow me around with a recorder, this stuff is gold" --Nick

"I think the water is getting deeper"-- Caitlin

"No, the water is just getting taller" -- Shelby

P.S. The alligator was dead roadkill on the side of the road.

Work Day 1: Complete

We tried homemade gumbo at the house that we are painting, and most greatly enjoyed it! We got covered in paint and learned a lot about each other. We also had many nicknames created.... but more on that in person:)

We went out to dinner for Alex's birthday, then to this really cool park that is right by the lake. This looked like a perfect photo op, so enjoy! We are having a great time and enjoying the southern hospitality!
