The Work Site

Hello again everyone. We had a very relaxing day Sunday at the beach. We left our hotel at around 10 and had a bit of a hard time finding parking because of the opening of the beach, but were finally able to find a spot with the help of some locals. We walked for a little until we found Jack's surf shop and rented a few boards. After surfing for a while we met a guy named Javen who let us use his soccer ball and played with us for a while. After some relaxing at the beach a little we headed to the airport to pick up Jim, who flew in from VA a day later. Then we headed to Lake Asbury to settle in for the week.

Today we had to wake up and get ready for breakfast at 7:45, and headed out to the camp at 8:30. The work site was a mess. We arrived and thought to ourselves that we were way over our heads. We started by pulling out the siding and taking out the old deck. We met the granddaughter of the house, Lynn, and her husband Jimmy and got to know them as they shared some of their amazing fruit from their yard. They had oranges, grapefruit, and kumquats. We took a break for lunch at a park and were able to play with four kids that were playing on the playground. After we got back from lunch we began putting on the siding for the house. We had a very productive day and headed back to the camp to relax and eat dinner.

We can only blog at the end of the days and don't have much time to so we will get back to you all as soon as we can!
