Well... we arrived. It was a long trip but somehow we managed to get through it. I must say, I never thought that sleeping on the floor of the RJC vans would be comfortable but John sure made it seem so (what was even more amazing was he was able to do it with his seatbelt still on). The trip was around 7 hours long and John was saying it felt like only minutes.
The guys were lucky enough to have gotten rooms at the super 8 (Thank you Sherwood Dodge Chrysler) while the girls are sleeping at John and Kaitlin's grandmas (just as sweet). For supper, we made our way to down town Edmonton where we had an amazing cultural experience outside of our normal boundaries. We also ran into our first of what I assume will be many tests of our manhood. There were these dainty little peppers from Hades. They were quite possibly the hottest things we have ever eaten. Us being intelligent creatures thought it would be fun to bring a few back to the hotel. After dropping Kaitlyn, Mackenzie and Nancy off at Bakers' grandmas', we drove to the hotel were the Tylers, Mike, and myself (Patty) head to the nearby McDonalds for dairy products in preparation for the main event of the night. I think you can tell where this is going. The four of us manned up and ate the deadly chilli pepper. All I can say is wow. That was stupid. For a pepper that is only about 1 ½ inches long, they pack a ton of heat.
Tomorrow, we venture forth to new ground as we tackle the work Habitat for Humanity throws at us.
