Sam's Year of Service Adventure

 This morning, we got up for one last delicious camp breakfast.  After breakfast, we said our goodbyes and hit the road.  When we got back to the house, I had some lunch, and then Christian and I went up to Castle Rock to buy me a laptop.  It was a good experience, and now I have a really nice computer.  When we got back, we went to a playground for a while, and then we came back and grilled some burgers for supper.  After supper, I relaxed the rest of the evening before going to bed.

 This morning, I slept in as late as possible and made it just in time for our little worship.  We did not do much since it was such a small group, but we had some singing, scripture, and even a children's story.  After worship, it was time for brunch.  It was so good.  After brunch, we went on the old wagon road hike, which I had never been on, and it was a nice stroll.  When we got back, I had a short afternoon nap, and then we did a little bit of boating followed by a very competitive game of pickleball.  After pickleball, it was time for supper, which was lasagna.  After supper, we roasted some s'mores and then played some Dutch Blitz before I headed to bed.

 Today was the workday of work and play.  We started with breakfast, of course, and then broke off into our groups. I was with the moving group, of course.  We started by moving some heaters and the ping pong table back into the Bern room.  We got to use Lefty, which is Camp's mini truck.  After that, we started hauling tables for Bern out of the cabins.  There were tables in several cabins.  Once we had all the tables in, we emptied out Tall Timbers of a bunch of building materials that had to go up to Staffville.  We brought down some boats for the pond on our trip down.  Then it was time for lunch, and we had the most amazing cheeseburger casserole.  After lunch, we had to go back up to Staffville and bring down more boats.  Next, we went over to the cabin, full of more boats, paddles, and life jackets, and emptied it out.  Then we started the huge task of bringing all the benches into bern and cleaning all the carpet pads o...

 Today I was with maintenance again at Bentley.  After fixing a garbage disposal, we spent the rest of the morning painting an apartment.  After work, I headed home and had some lunch.  After lunch, I didn't do much in the afternoon.  When it was time to make supper, I grilled some shrimp and had some mac and cheese and cheese muffins on the side.  After supper, we packed up the car and headed up to camp for Memorial Day work and play.  I got to sit in the middle of the 2 kids on the drive up.  When we got there, we checked into our rooms and then had a meeting about the next day, as well as some snacks.  We also had a game of Would You Rather.  Then it was time for bed.

 Today I was working at Bentley.  I spent the majority of the morning working on a make-ready, patching holes and doing touch-up painting.  For lunch, I got some fried chicken from King Soopers. After lunch, I put up some blinds, let a vendor into an apartment, and then we did some make-ready inspecting.  After that, we decided that since there were three of us, we were going to fully paint an apartment because it smelled so bad.  We spent the next few hours priming it.  When we had finished, we had a meeting in the office at the end of the day.  At the end of the day, Jenni gave me a ride home.  When I got home, I had some supper, and then Leigha and I made a couple of chocolate chip cookie pies.  We ended the evening playing some Overcooked.

 Today was pantry day.  I had to start my day by cleaning out the van from yesterday.  Then we headed to the pantry before I went out to do the pickups.  When I was done with the pickups, we got everything put away and then had lunch.  After lunch, we opened the pantry.  It was a busy but smooth day.  When we were done, we cleaned up and headed back to the office.  At the office, we put stuff out for people to take, and then I headed home.  When I got home, we headed to church soon after for a BBQ.  We had burgers, salads, and desserts.  After the BBQ, we headed home, and instead of learning component, we planned our Alaska trip.  We planned out what days we would be where, the hikes we wanted to do, and we got a campsite booked.  After we were done with our planning, I went to bed.
