A Well-Oiled Machine

Well, it's Thursday morning and I'm proud to say that we have quite the routine down that is getting us through the days very well! The kids are LOVING serving others and it is just so cool to watch them interact with the people at our sites as well as connect with the other YouthWorks kids. Today is our last day at our work sites and then tonight we are having a celebration at one of the beaches on Lake Michigan. I can't believe our time here is almost over, but I am convinced that the kids and leaders are going to go back changed a little. We continue to have some really great conversations that I know wouldn't have happened outside of this setting. Here are some pics of the last few days.

Once we got to the showers I sat down for literally two minutes and proceeded to fall asleep...the girls took full advantage of the photo op.

This is my reaction to Brandon taking down a boiled beet and saying it was "awesome"...5 minutes later he ate a bunch of squash...crazy!
