Camp Workday!

On Saturday, about 10 people came out to our camp to have a workday. The major work to be done that day was mowing and weed-eating. I worked a little in the kitchen because there was mold all over the place. I guess because of all the rain and it being really warm this happens quite a bit. Anyway, I wasn't in there very long because some people thought it wasn't a good idea for me to be working with bleach. So mom and Luann, you should be very pleased to know that there are plenty of people looking out for me and our baby's well-being. It made me feel good to know that some were looking out for me. So after that I went outside and started pulling weeds from the volleyball court. But then Jim, one of the guys that came out started spraying weed killer on it and I was told to get away from there when he starts getting really close. So unfortunately, I felt pretty useless after awhile. But that is okay, I was able to do some things at the beginning, which I'm sure helped some.

While some of us ladies were waiting for the men to be done, Jim was going to check on something and his foster child, Nolan found a big snake. In this picture they are holding their

arms out to describe how long it is, but their arms are both out all the way so I am sure it was longer than that. A little later, Nolan wanted to be the adventurous one and try to find the snake again! His foster mother and I were trying to tell him he shouldn't be playing with snakes and that if something were to happen to him he would be missed. We were trying to scare him so he wouldn't want to go and find snakes but it didn't work. He went to look for it and found it but made sure we knew that he didn't touch it or mess with it at all! He is a silly little boy!!!

After another 30 minutes went by and there was still no hope of leaving anytime soon, one of the ladies and I went to see what the guys were up to. And just so you know, it was past lunch time, and being pregnant and hungry is not a good combination. Well the guys were in the boys dorm, how appropriate, and they were fixing some pipes in the bathroom. It was a little cooler in there! I decided to take some pictures of the guys working some and of course, Clint didn't take a nice picture. He feels he must make a face in just about all of the pictures I take of him. I haven't quite figured out why that is. Maybe after he sees this one on the blog he will start taking

nice pictures for you all.

Well it wasn't shortly after this that we finally were able to head home. We were extremely exhausted. We are going to go back out this afternoon to work some more. I am going because there is another young girl going and I think she will be the only one, so I am going to hang out with her so she doesn't feel so alone. I probably won't be able to do much but that's okay.

VBS Workday

Well, our VBS is from August 3rd- August 7th and Clint and I are in charge of decorating. We had a workday on the 13th for those who could make it, which is usually just me and 1 or 2 other people. This day it was Ron Akin. He helped me color some of the murals. We still have about 3 1/2 more to do. We were going to have a workday today but the lady who was going to come had to cancel because her son is still running a low-grade fever and didn't want to take a risk of getting me sick. So tomorrow Ron and I will work on it again in the afternoon! We are making a lot of progress!
