Restore Hope Outreach - 11th

We met up at the church at 8:30 to head out to Restore Hope and help out with taking care of the community. Once we arrived we took a tour of the facilities and learned about the things that they do there to help people, afterwards we set up an assembly line to carry canned goods, beef, soups, and many different kinds of foods. When we got done with the foods we began to unload all the school supplies, we catalogued, sorted, and counted everything that was there, so that they knew how much they needed to buy for the next school season. We counted over 7000 pencils making it possible for 700 kids that needed writing utensils to have as many as they needed during the school year. After we finished up counting the school supplies we were hungry, so we headed out to Chic-Fil-A to get ourselves a well deserved meal and continue on home.


Big Splash - 15th

Today we went to big splash to have some fun swimming. We met up at the church and headed out on our way, when we reached Big Splash we realized that we had arrived an hour early, so we hung out for a little bit and had some fun until the park opened. Once it opened we headed in to get into the water and have even more fun, we jumped into the water for a while since it was so hot outside, and Dom offered everybody sunscreen, which of course some of our stubborn teenage youth refused (nice one you guys) and after our fun water adventures we decided to go play some volleyball on their amazingly hot sandy volleyball court, which of course, since apparently they mixed burning hot lava into their sand, caught our feet on fire as we hit the volleyball around. Once we decided we were tired of playing volleyball we went back to swim and have fun on the slides, we ran around the park for hours having fun, laughing, and swimming our lives away. After we got out of the water for a little bit we noticed that Austin, Hunter, and Demi had been sunburned pretty badly, I wonder why? So as our watery adventures drew to a close we packed our things up into the bus and headed back home.
