Wednesday was a super-productive construction day.  We all worked well on the mini teams we formed to accomplish all that needed to happen.

Several people worked to make sure the floor joists were in – Deb and I followed behind to put in the smaller joists.  Deb was fearless as she scaled the longer joists and hammered from above – and the crew on the saws was patient with us as we shouted out the precise measurements we needed.  They were awesome working the power saw.

At the end of the day we were ready to lay down the floor boards on Thursday.  Oh – everybody was laughing at the very serious face I apparently make when I hammer!  After construction we met some of the students and recent graduates.  We had fun chatting in the yard and on the bus – I met Amy, Katie, Alex, Juno and Roy on the bus ride to the river.

I had a great time floating down the river on an inner tube with Melissa.  We hit a few rocky patches along the way but we also found a few rapids that were lots of fun.

It was pretty peaceful and we also found a herd of beautiful horses – and even stopped to pet them.  We wished we’d had some apples to feed them.

We made it back to Two Medicine, changed into warm clothes and enjoyed the barbeque.  The turkey burgers were delicious – but I saved room for the smores we made around the campfire later on.  We had lots of laughs about the day when we sat around the campfire.  The stars were great again too.

Oh – Megan also successfully made Jiffy Pop over the campfire.  Looking forward to putting the floorboards on tomorrow.
