Playground Project

A girl in my group took this picture of me during our playground project.



Today (Tuesday), my team did a project in Denver. We were assigned to a playground that needed to be filled in with wood chips. The best way to envision it is an in ground pool with a playground in the middle of it, two feet deep. Those two feet needed to be filled to the top. We ended up using 1700 cubic yards of wood chips (two tractor trailers' worth). The project manager didn't think we could get it all done today, but we finished in about 4.5 hours (with a lunch break in there). It felt good to actually get out and do something after spending so much time in the classroom in training. Tonight at 5 our team is playing another team in kickball and I am really looking forward to that.

Yesterday we went to a park in the morning to get trained for a project we are leading on Saturday. We are split up into pairs and are leading groups of 8 to 10 in building trails at one of the city parks. It should be pretty fun. Starbucks and Panera Bread are catering it, which I am also excited about.

Here is a link to my playground pictures if you want to see more.
