What an exciting day!  We started off by unloading the truck will the playground pieces.  That just set the mood for the rest of the day.  Everyone jumped to be the one who got to unload the big yellow slide!  We broke off into different group from sawing wood, coloring posters and separates tiny pieces so that everything would be organized and go smoothly on Build Day.  After lunch we had an informative meeting lead by our fearless, organized leader Amanda, who assigned everyone to their desired groups for build day.  We then ventured back out in to the hot desert sun for some more chopping of wood and spray painting the outline of the 50-ft. wide United States of America (it took more than a couple people to hold that stencil down).  We ended our day with a quick clean up and a final dare for our friend Jim, to mount a 12-foot pile of wood chips, which he was successful at.  We can’t wait for Build Day and to see everything complete!
