Third Day

Our morning started with Breakfast Tacos from Taco Cabanna! Yummy!

Today our youth spent the morning at Bishop's Camp. They read with the younger kids. The kids really enjoy spending time with our youth and get super excited to see them. Our youth enjoy the chance to hang out with the little kids too.

Our fun little interlude was a visit from Elijah this morning.

After reading to kids they got to spend some time playing games with the kids. After games with them we played some of our own games.

Some of our youth used their free time to help move food for the Cathedral Food Pantry.

Tonight we went and served dinner at Austin Street Shelter with the Elks Lodge 71. They provided the food and our youth served it. We had a lot of fun and the youth really appreciated all the food they got to eat today.

Later tonight we finished our pottery by painting them. Some came out great! Others a little ....

We are looking forward to shower wars now!

Second Day: Morning

This morning we went to Our Savior Episcopal Church and worked in their AMAZING Community Garden. We picked tons and tons (80 pounds to be exact). We picked peppers, chili peppers, egg plants, peaches, tomatoes, swiss chard, dinosaur lettuce,  squash, and a couple others. We got to see eggs being collected at their chicken coop. All the food we picked totaled 320 servings of veggies!

Once we finished picking and weighing all our produce we took them to the Buckner Crisis Center where they will be given to families in need.

First Day: Evening

Freetime = Mattress Wars

And once they had exhausted themselves (and me). We all fell asleep for a very brief nap.

After nap we made place-mats for the Kyros Prison Ministries. And then did a hands on Bible Study and made our own clay out of cornstrach, baking soda and water.

At dinner we had a yummy casserole and great salad with purple lettuce. Rachel didn't want to eat her salad even though she knew the rule about take what you eat and only take what you are going to eat. So she had to at least try the purple lettuce. She HATED it! And now we all think purple lettuce is super funny!

It was a great night that ended with Gold Fish, Gateraid and a game of Hide in Go Seek in the Dark Haunted Cathedral!

First Day: Afternoon

This afternoon the youth hung out with kids from the Bishop's Camp. They played games, ran activity centers and enjoyed a "school" lunch with the 110 kidos that spend their summers at the Cathedral. Our kids had a great time being an older friend and mentor to the little ones.

Tonight we are looking forward to some down time to processes and to remember things we are thankful for, because today we have been working on having an "attitude of gratitude."
