Round 2 announced

This was our first full week at school and I think it went by faster than the previous 3 day weeks had. But I did get some great pictures of the kids! Plus it was Catherine's birthday week so we had to do something special.

So anyways- on to finding out round 2. Thursday night after dinner, Abby told us to clear the table because we needed to solve something. She placed a huge sheet of butcher paper on the table with a word scramble on it. Clues about AmeriTools we had learned about (McLeod, loppers, chainsaw, etc) and some of the letter spaces were circled. We had to fill in the blanks and then unscramble to letters to figure out our project. Turns out we are going to be in the county of San Diego. As far as I know, the place we're staying in is Agua Caliente, just outside of Julian, CA. There are natural (supposedly mystical healing powered) hot springs we can use.  We will be working on historical restoration, trail maintenance and camp site enhancement. We will be living in a one room house that sleeps 10... and we have a team of 12. So we'll be taking tents with us too, just in case. Agua Caliente is apparently right on the edge of the desert so the days are fantastic work conditions now (because it's "winter") and the nights can be in the 30s. Because of our location we will not have cell phone reception but there will be access to wi-fi. Hope to find out more soon.

For right now, we're scrambling to get everything done for the end of round 1. Trying to finish team position tasks, compile our portfolio, plan for winter break, get some ISPs done, and just in general do our regular work is a lot to do. Tomorrow is my first ISP! I've signed up for 3 before and they've all been cancelled due to rain. And, even though it's raining right now and supposed to all tomorrow, the event will still happen. It's the California International Marathon and apparently it's a big deal. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

And now, some pictures of my kids--
