Navajo (cliffnotes version) Part 1

Vanmates: Me, Sully, Anneliise, Samantha, Brigitta, Jorgen, Stefan, Alex, Mrs. Rehn, Bryce, Gracie, Jenn, Kevin, Erick, Ryan, and Chris.

Sat. June 20
Piled in van, are fast food, swam, went """""clubbing""""" (see Navajo day 1 photo album on fbcmyouth.webs.com), ate pizza at Strombolli's, played cards, couldn't sleep.

Sun.
Ate mini-moofins (turned out to be the best continental breakfast we had on the whole trip =\). Borrowed Liise's dress for church. Not the best day for anthing other than pants, but oh well. Sermon was about Mr. Wonderful (ya know, the doll) and what he really means :P Stopped at In-N-Out. Fun in the van. Arrived at Shonto Prep. Got stung on the big toe by a bee.

Mon.
Woke up & went to nurse's office. She dug around a bit with a safety pin but couldn't get the stinger out. Found out I was locked out of dorm. Spent 30-45 min. siting outside in the cold praying. Went out to work site with my team, Caitlyn, Shannon, Christian, Joe, Mary, Jonathan, Emily, and Shawn (latter 2 are leaders) after breakfast. Leveled out dirt only to find that we needed to add much more, so all of the leveling was useless. Got bitten by 2 red ants. Lots of digging.

Tue.
Helped out at another work site. Learned how to mix concrete. Went back to original work site later and measured & cut rebar and cut up some wire to keep it together. Also gathered rocks to prop up rebar after.

Wed.
Don't quit reading yet! Wednesday was fun day! Got up, got in the van and went to Super Wal-Mart. Liise, Gitta and I spent a little too much time sniffing laundry detergent... but we couldn't stop... it was just SO GOOD! (Kidding. Mostly.) Stefan and Sully had a milk-drinking contest - Sully won (surprising). Drove over to boat-rental place. Decided to go in Rehn van w/ Sully, Bryce, Gracie, Stefan & Mrs. Rehn.
Much quicker than boats. Once Alex got everyone over, the people who rode in the van went for a ride in the boat... so amazing! The very front is definitely the best place to be! Cliff-jumped a bit off a higher cliff than last year (I think). Travis - Kevin's cowboy hat, and the trip's mascot- fell in the water twice. We goofed around in the lake for a while, then went to Strombolli's (a different one than on Saturday, of course) for pizza. I enjoyed the trip back to the school immensely.
