Ottawa SERVE 2016 - Day 4 - Part 1 - Work sites and trampolining

Good morning all...or should I say good evening. 

It's 10:05 pm.  We've just finished our mentor time and some are off to bed.  

So let's begin our day today.  

Well, let's start with last night. 
Just before I went to bed I was trying to get Joanna's attention, but she was enjoying music with her head phone on.  Hard to get her attention when she's wearing them. 

Back to morning. 
Up for 8 am breakfast this morning. 
Tyler and Kyle are up and at em.  

Our night hawks still up and chatting it up with John and others. 

Good morning Alex. 

Kitchen crew.  

They are here much earlier than most people.  
Again a great breakfast. 

Emily what are you doing.  I presume reading the Blog. 

Zach is having a hard time getting up.  And the room is looking a bit messier.   

Good morning Tobie and Shannon. 

More late risers.  

Good morning Ryan. 
Nice morning face.  

Harold and Bill getting directions straight for driving to work sites this morning.  

Bea and Annette's room still looks spic and span.  

Amazing! : )

Good morning Nicole and Caralynn

Looks like Philippe is ready to face the day.  Anika...not so much.    

Visits to the nurse again this morning. 

So what are we going to do today Kaitlyn and Stephanie?

Everyone's up and now it's time for morning devotions with Pastor Craig.

Hey Janika. 

Hey, there's Anne. 
One of our kitchen co-ordinators.

having a bad day? : ) 

Kayla and Janika. 
Smiles all around. 

Ryan wanted me to get a picture of him looking at the blog.  Here is it Ryan. 

Hey Annette. 
Our other Kitchen co-ordinator. 
I think I got her with her face full of food.  

Then I asked her a question which she didn't know the answer too.  

And that's the face of someone who doesn't want you in the kitchen, and then catches me, (I mean you) in it.  : ) 

Hmmmm, my room is looking a bit fuller this morning. 
Joanna cleared out her room for the counting committee, but alas, they decided to wait till next week...sigh

Megan and Mark and Christina relaxing while waiting for their time to leave for work sites.

She's taking most of the pictures this week.

And then its time for lunch. 

Simple fare today. 
Sandwiches and chips and grapes. 

Awe, Anne giving words of encouragement to Joanna. 
We seem to be working harder this year with our participants.  Seems louder this year too. 
So more work for Joanna and myself. 
All good, but interesting to note.

Anne and Annette going over the food for the rest of the week. They shop almost once a day.  

Happier times. 

Thankfully. : ) 

They work well together. 

Someone pointed out the Evert was catching a nap on the church pews. 

I thought I'd get an aerial shot. 
Creepy.  : ) 

My room is also getting messier 

Our fun event for the today was something new. 
Trampolining at Xtreme Trampoline.  
Group instruction first. 
Safety first. 

And then we let them loose. 
I took like 300 pictures of them trampolining, so I'm just going to let you see them, with no commentary. 
No, not all of them.  The group will get all of them next week. 
Enjoy! : ) Some are pretty cool. 

Time to move on to Part 2....
