preschoolers instead of push-ups

So the other day Matt decided to cancel PT(physical training) "just for fun". I was somewhat Ok with this since my schedule was slightly different then my normal Wednesday. You see I got to work with Betsy all day!!! She is in charge of all the special events here at RVR. So we got to host about 60 preschoolers for the afternoon. They just came to play on the sweet playground, take a hayride, and pick a pumpkin. Well they did all this with the addition of the mine shaft zip line. This is a ton of fun for the little kiddies and was fun for me too. Also it kept me warm cuz it was freezing outside. This is were the physical part came in... I had to lift each 2 1/2 foot child in and out of the cart. So i decided that this took the place of the 100 push-ups that we didn't have to do in the morning =) Once Betsy and I waved goodbye to the little ones we made lunch. After lunch, was the part of the day when I really felt like I started to do some work (mostly because I got dirty and ended up smelling like a gas station.) mmmmmmm good times! We got to put diesel gas in about 50 tiki torches for the times we have the corn maize at night. Later last night Betsy and I hosted a night corn maize for grace bible churches girls/boys pioneer clubs. It was really chill, literally! So I attemped to start a fire.....then once I decided it wasn't catching to the wood I left it and sadly told Betsy that I had failed to complete my mission of building a successful camp fire. BUT.... When Betsy and I came back to see my pitiful fail, guess what?! Yup U got it! IT WAS A BLAZING!!! I'm so proud! I started it on my own =) So while the group got lost with their flashlights in the maize, Betsy and I tried to help them through the maize by shouting directions from the tower. Once the group left Betsy and I chatted by the fire for a while and then both called it a night. Right now I'm in class working on writing group initiatives/name games and writing on my blog! hahaha k bye =)

Time is flying by......

O my word! Time has been going by so fast here at the ranch. I love every second here even though sometimes life is challenging in many areas. Tomorrow is the first day of RVR's annual Maizefest. I get the honor of working 4 different parts, including; ticket and pumpkin sales, the corn bins/wagon, and the pumpkin painting station. I'm so stoked to be part of the fall festivities here=) The past 2 weeks have been awesome! However, it's been really really busy. I'm working on sending out my prayer/support letter prolly on Monday or so. I've been using my evenings the past few nights to work on my homework and just catch up on daily things that I don't seem to ever get done. Tonight I decided I needed a break from work, so Beth and I ran 3 miles before we made ourselves a fresh chic salad! umm ummm good! Then we went into town with Hannah to run some errands. Tomorrow, Matt is taking us to a REI attic sale to check out and maybe buy some merchandise. You never know when you'll need some camping supplies! I mean, come on I only am working at a camp! yeeeesh! haha Well I need to go so I can spend some much needed time with my Father. =)
