ALSO Alabama - Work week draws quickly to an end!

Today is the third day of volunteer work, and were still going strong. We split into two groups, 5 stayed at Camp Christian to do some maintenance at the camp, while the rest of the crew returned to Habitat for Humanity. At the camp Debbie got us to clean the front porch and prepared us for painting. We painted the ceiling and the two walls. 

At Habitat we finished siding the second house, and the first coat of paint as well! Wahoo! Tomorrow we are starting the third house! 




Then we packed up our stuff and headed to the beach! "Lets go to the beach, beach lets get away" It was very windy, but warm! The waves were beautiful and body surfing was a go! The water was freezing, but it was a experience of a life time for some people! There were people playing Frisbee, football, and walking along the beach looking for shells. All in all the beach was a success, and we were happy with the weather! We had a hard time leaving the white, silky (squeaky) sand. After what seemed like a long drive we came home to some devotions, and a warm fire where we roasted wieners on coat hangers, and even some yummy smores! It was a great day, and we are more than ready for tomorrow! 




Picture perfect until an unexpected wave came along1

Catching some rays!

Go long!

Back after a hard days work and fun at the ocean.


** Sorry for the double post today.  We are usually one day behind always when we are blogging due to the lack of internet at Camp Christian.  However after today's work we will be cleaning up and packing as tomorrow is our last day in Mobile. The students will work a half day on Friday then we will board the bus for the trip home.  I may not be able to access any internet tomorrow (sorry Heather!)  I will try to post on Saturday when we should be in a hotel for the night.   Wow the week has just flown by and none of us can believe that we are just about done.  The kids are tired as the mornings are early and the work day is long but everyone is doing well and having a blast!  Thanks for keeping up with us via this blog!  See you soon!
