Trip #11: Day 3


Today we started off with a good breakfast of eggs, bacon, and English muffins. After breakfast we got ready to go to our worksites. Mr. Brightbill’s group headed over to the church to finish up the shed roof. Mr. Carroll’s group headed over to the handicap ramp to finish the pavers and added shims to create a nicer transition.  Both sites required a few finishing touches to be considered complete.  After this, the groups met at the last house to add a piece of fascia on the side.  Once the fascia was on, all of us went to assess the next jobs that were lined up for us.
Since our first assigned jobs were finished and our next ones involved too much work to complete in time to clean up for our evening activities, we decided to change our plans for lunch and the afternoon.  Everyone got together and returned to where we all are staying to get lunch supplies.  We headed out to Janes Island State Park for a picnic lunch.   We did burgers and dogs grilled over charcoal.  While we were there, many of us enjoyed a touch football game while others went to a nature museum to check it out. 
After our fun at the state park, we all came back to cycle through showers and work on homework.  Some people even took a quick nap.   Once everyone was back from showers, we got prepared for a sunset cruise. When we set out, we could see very little of the sun through the clouds, but at the last moment, a sliver of clear sky opened to see the actual sunset.   It was a decently long cruise and a little cold.   While on the cruise, we got to see places where we had been from the previous days.  After the cruise, we came back to eat pizza and wings.  Some participants went to pass a football while others worked on more homework and journals.
