Rain won't dampen our spirits!

Hi everyone-

Today was another wonderful day! We split into our two groups again and went to the cemetery and the Catholic Worker House. It was drizzly this morning, so instead of heading out to the Catholic Worker House's "farm" we stayed and helped at the house. We cleaned their city chicken coup, picked peas and strawberries, laid hay in with their potatoes, weeded, and cleaned the house. While we were working, many of us talked with one of the main volunteers there and learned a lot about causes of poverty and justice issues.

We just worked in the morning today, because in the afternoon/evening we hit up Adventureland Theme Park. Not going to lie, it was WET! Everyone came back drenched, but had a blast! We even brought back two HUGE stuffed animals too!

The kids have been really great- they have been working hard and at the park all of them checked in one time and were on time when it was time to leave. They've all been getting along great! Tonight we're having a little free time back at our lodge- its nice to relax for a bit. In the morning we are heading out to location number two!!!

Hope all is well back home!

Another great day

Today was another great day! We switched rotations, so the work project people started Kids Club and us Kids Clubbers did work projects. We went 8 miles out on gravel "roads" into the mountains to a ranch and help haul out deadwood for them to burn for their sweats. The scenery was amazing! We also were invited into the home of the family we were helping, played with their puppies, picked wild strawberries and learned about their culture and life. It was truly amazing. Tonight we are headed to Glacier National Park, and we have to leave soon, so sorry for the short post today!

All are happy and healthy! Praise God!

didn't see that coming

I'm a little bit sick, was called the ugliest SOB ever born by a three year old twice, was hit by many plastic bats by small children, chased away mangy rabid dogs, Eric Olson gave me one of his birthday M&M's, and Marrissa Thorson and I were held at gun point ( with a real/ legit high powered BB-gun) by a six year old... did not see any of that coming. All in all, the best day of my life, not lying!!!

Native Dancing

Here are a few pics of Jolene and her grandkids. Jolene spoke to us about the Blackfeet culture and then her grandkids danced for us while the Blackfeet Singers drummed. We even got to dance!!! It was amazing!!!

Mountain Men!

Here are some pictures of some mountain men who rode through Heart Butte today. They have been traveling from Texas to Canada and have been on the road since March 27th! They ride with a shotgun and have been living off the land. Even the Natives here were taking pictures and listening to their stories!
