Thursday

You may or may not be surprised to hear this, but we’re all pretty stinkin’ tired at this point. We’ll probably work on creating more updates from multiple folks on the drive home tomorrow, but for now I’ll just say that we’re all doing very well, we’ve had an incredible week, and I think we’re all also looking forward to getting home! Tutoring wrapped up well this morning, with many of our kids saying they were sad that we were leaving and some even crying when they hugged us goodbye. Awww! So sweet. We wrapped up work projects this afternoon, and went out for Indian (hooray) for supper. Then it was back to New City where we had conversation about the week and what we had learned and would take away – lots of good stuff. And then everyone “got” to pitch in and help clean out the trailer (it was a complete disaster after a week’s worth of taking games in and out, tools in and out, woodworking projects in and out, popcorn and slushy stuff in and out… you get the idea). Then there was time to hang out with kids from the other groups and relax before heading off to bed. Hopefully we’ll have an early start in the morning – it’s always good to hope, right?!
