Week 7 at Mount!

I can't believe we only have one week of this left. It feels like we've been doing this for a year but that we still have lots more to go. We told the kids at Maple Beach Park this week that next thursday is our last official day and they seemed pretty sad about that. Cali and I said we'd visit though a couple times before school starts up again!

This was actually a pretty eventful week. We've had the most number of kids everyday at lunch this week than we ever have before! I believe our numbers went something like 29, 41, 28, 38 and 44! (I may be wrong about monday's number) I can't believe we had 44 kids today! Yesterday we had the bug nets again and the kids went crazy catching butterflies and dragonflies. Today we made our own stickers which turned out to be pretty fun.

Yesterday was our lovely site visit from the OCC supervisors. We showed them all around the Alliance Homeless Shelter, Maple Beach Park, and Feed My Sheep Ministries. We had a wild time at FMSM last night. We ended up losing the van keys (which we later found on top of the van). Then Cali took me for a wild ride in Glenna's wagon and I skinned my toe. Then Glenna pulled me in the wagon again and a wheel broke off so we bought a replacement for her and while dropping our home supervisor off at her car, we were flipped off by some angry people.

We finished the gardens at the Homeless Shelter with the help of the OCC supervisors. We were also able to drop off about a dozen cucumbers and a bucket full of peppers and tomatoes there today. We're so happy because one of the residents said she goes out and waters the gardens! We were so afraid that no one was taking intiative with them but it seems they are.

I've been slacking with posting pictures so I will try and do that later tonight. But for now, that's pretty much it. I'm still in awe that we only have a week left! We've accomplished so much however and I hope next year's VISTAs will pick up where we left off!
