Friday Recap

We began the day with breakfast and some devotions with the group and then headed out to the work sites and got to work. We split up in morning. A few groups went to Bright Hope to finish up the work we started Wednesday, while the rest of the group went back to the Willow Creek garden that we were at Thursday. The Bright Hope group spent some time organiing and putting thing in their rightful places, then met up with everyone else for lunch and we finished out the day together at the garden. One group spent the day weeding and harvesting cabbage. Another group finished planting the rest of the garden then laid hay over the plants to keep the ground cool and the plants moist. A third group spent the day cutting down overhanging branches and clearing brush in order to expand the garden in the future. The team worked hard today and Steve had nothing but compliments to give at the end of the day. We cleaned up for dinner, had Chick-fil-a (shout out to the Wonderly's). We headed out for a team fun night playing WHIRLY BALL!!!!!! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's an awesome combination of bumper cars, lacrosse, and basketball. We had an amazing time and thoroughly exhausted, we headed back to the hotel for some much needed sleep. The Chicago '12 team is headed into the city today...more updates to come!!
