Finally have a moment to sit down and relay some hightlights of our Spring Break Campaign to Boulder, Colorado. Enjoyed being around such an amazing and diverse group of people; I know I haven't laughed that hard, that much, in a long time! So here are a few bits and pieces from the trip:
*4" of snow Sunday when we got there; driving the 15 passenger van on the ice
*hubcaps and the parking brake on the mini-van: full-coverage!
*boys staying at a 1.25 million dollar house
*walkie-talkies and driving in downtown Denver
*Sandy, the hugh German Shepard lion of our host family
*fitting 8-10 people in an elevator
*cleaning up a playground at the Acorn School
*hanging out with kids at the Mountain States Children's Home
*cooking 100+ pancakes in 20 minutes at the Homeless Shelter
*chocolate cake everywhere we went
*surveys at CU campus
*baby snake spaghetti
*the 7th grade dating game
*painting a bathroom with 5 coats of Kilz at Attention homes b/c paint tends to turn to a cottage cheese-like substance when it is frozen
*serving a meal with Dry Bones to about 40 homeless teens
*13th Street is not the same as 13th Avenue
*the British Pub
*12 hour drives and 3 drivers
*and not to be left out, "Dude, that's messed up!"
Good times. You forgot to mention being lost everywhere we went and having no idea what was going on. I still don't think Ben knows where he is . . . :)
