Final Week of Feb Build 2010

We have had a great week working with a group of College Students from Concordia College in Minnesota. What a great group of young people. They were on Spring Break and rode on a bus for 36 hours to get here. They did have fun and were able to go to Disney on Wednesday to MGM for the day but the other 4 days they WORKED. We got the house completely "Dried in" so now it is ready for the drywall.. Thursday night all of us Care A Vanners and some of the other volunteers and their wives fixed a Chili Supper for the group. As usual we had lots of food and a really good time.Several of the kids entertained us with singing and also playing the piano. Friday evening all the Care A Vanners went to dinner at Beef o Bradys for our celebration and "so long not goodbye" dinner. Everyone had a great time and then we came back to the camping area and had a fire and enjoyed somores and good converation. Several of the group left this morning either heading home or on to another Build. We will be going over to Disney tomorrow to meet with Ally & family and go to the Magic Kingdom on Monday. After that we can say we have been with all 5 grandkids. We will come back here and pickup the coach on Tuesday and head to Naples, Florida on Wednesday to have some rest and relaxing for a while. We plan to go back to Virgina sometime after it decides that it is NOT going to snow again. We have had a really great experience being team leaders on these two Care a Vanner Builds and hope to continue to do this work.
