Hello! I'm writing from my pjs today because I slept in quite a bit. I was on cooking duty yesterday so we made french toast for breakfast, served left overs for lunch, and my other family group members did a bbq for dinner. Yesterday Greg and I (Emma) cut wood to put around the base of the play structure and the fence posts were done to perfection. Then in the afternoon, after the wood cutting task, we all picked up the play structure and moved it to it's place on top of the cement in this picture. After that Lorenz and Andrew and I (still emma) started thinking about putting up the A frame for the swing set we're putting in. It ended up taking us about 2hrs and 45min. after free time started to finish, and once we started, we had to keep going because the cement was in the mixer. We had to cut the A frame because it was too tall but we had to make sure we did it right so we checked about 20 times, dealing with obstacles like the height of the ground at different points affecting the height of the structure we were measuring. It was hard! but now the cement should be setting and we're going to put the A frame up and hopefully get the swings squared away and finish the fence. Also last night, Pastor Rachel came and gave us all brain-stained animal hide and beads to make little medicine bags out of! they're so cool but by the time we finished with the A frame deal I was to tired to do much on it so I saved it and I'll probably work on it some more today. Since I hadn't taken a shower during my free time and I went straight from A-frame to dinner to medicine pouch making -- it was 10:00pm and I hadn't taken a shower yet! We felt it was too late to ask Pastor Rachel if we could use her shower, so Andrew and I took hose showers in our swim suits. It was really cold. (I hadn't taken a shower the day before either, because I jumped in the river and felt remarkably clean after). That's all for now! Love, Emma

Yesterday was the hardest day at work camp. Lots has been finished even though we are not done yet. The preparation work for the A-Frame seemed endlessly because we were all tired from the work we've already done.
Luckyly Emma and Andrew helped me out taking all the measurements and leveling the A-Frame otherwise i wouldn't be here right now. I would lie in my bed and be exauseted... That's what i am anyways.
But, after lots of overtime work and tired Emmas, Andrews and Lorenz' we finaly acomplished all our work.
