Day 132 January 17

 Today was the big snow camp day.  I started with dishes in the morning.  After I had washed the breakfast prep dishes, I went through the line first and then had a lot of dishes to do after breakfast.  When I was done with the dishes, it was time to get snow gear on and head outside.  I started by helping a few people build the tube run.  After about an hour of working on the tube run, I headed over to broomball to help officiate.  Somehow, I ended up having to officiate the game between the 2 tabor teams.  It was like the longest game ever, with overtime and then having penalty shots.  After the Tabor game was over, it was time for the championship game.  Sadly, Tabor did not come out on top, even though it was a really good game.  After broom ball, it was time for lunch.  After lunch, it was time for the Menno Olympics.  We had four different stations, and I led the hockey shot station.  It was really just broomball penalty shots.  It was always 2 teams against each other, and one team would goalie and the other would shoot.  When we were done with the Menno Olympics, there was free time for more activities.  I was in charge of the pond.  At first, there was almost nobody there to play broom ball, so I joined in.  Eventually, more people showed up, and we had a pretty big game going.  We played the rest of the afternoon until it was time for supper.  After supper, we had worship again.  For some reason, the Beth El youth group decided it would be fun to follow me around and say hi to me.  After worship, we had more games and then s'mores.  I helped everyone make there smore after they roasted it.  After smores, it was time for campers to go to their cabins while we cleaned.  When we were done cleaning, we decided to go night tubing.  We made some long trains, and it was really fast.  When we were done tubing, we put all the tubes back in storage, and then we went to check out an igloo that some campers had made.  When we were all frozen, we went back to the cabin and hung out for a bit until we were all tired and ready for bed.

Day 28

We got up at 3:30, hoping to hit the road at 4 and then be on the trail at 4:30.  We were pretty close to on time.  We were hiking Mount Princeton.  Since we were in a van, we had to hike from the lower parking lot up a Four Wheel Drive trail for 3 to 4 miles.  When we finally hit single track, it didn't take long for us to be rock scrambling.  We had about 3 miles of rock scrambling to the top.  About half of it was just along the side of the mountain, but then we really turned uphill and had a pretty steep scramble to the top.  We finally made it to the top, and it was an amazing view for a little bit.  A snowstorm was moving in quickly, and we watched it start from a nearby mountain and slowly come toward us.  We had a slippery scramble down the shale on the mountain.  Then the snowstorm caught us, and it was kind of just a sleet, but it made all the rocks very slippery.  By this point, some people were fighting headaches.  ...

Day 32

Today was pantry day.  Since Trilby hurt her finger yesterday, she tagged along with me to the pantry.  I started by running to Home Depot to get a wagon wheel for the wagon at the pantry.  When I got back from Home Depot, we picked up Doug and went over to the pantry.  Jenni was sick today.  We dropped Doug off at the pantry and then went to pick up the food at Sprouts and Trader Joe's.  We had a relatively light haul from Sprouts, but a fairly substantial haul from Trader Joe's.  We got everything put away in the pantry in record time and then had time for a good, long lunch break.  There were not a lot of good options for lunch, but eventually I found a pretty good sandwich.  After lunch, we started the pantry and had about 20 to 30 people come through.  It was not that many people at the end of the month, because usually by that time their government funds have run out.  Once we hit about 2 o'clock, we pretty much didn't have an...

Day 26

Today I was with maintenance again.  We started off by going to Arcadia to do some inspections.  These rooms were much better kept than the last apartment we did inspections in.  We only had to do 3 rooms, so it didn't take long.  Then Bill took me over to Bentley, where I continued taking pictures again.  I did pictures most of the day, and then Bill picked me up at about 3:30 and we headed back to the office.  It was my day to cook, so I decided to make a pizza, which turned out pretty well.  After supper, we decided to try another community youth group for young adults again.  It was kind of like a church service with singing and a sermon.  I was not super into it because it was a non-denominational group, and they just do things a little differently.  On the bike ride home, my chain fell off while crossing the bridge over the highway.
