Today we went back to Southwest Key. Instead of hanging out with the kids and doing art projects, we had more of a manual labor day around the compound. We split into 3 groups- one to move logs to the organic garden, one to wash the 6 cars (very dirty), and one to clear the area behind the house of weeds and dead plants. In the end, though, we all ended up hoeing weeds and raking plants on the property. However, I think most people were preoccupied with keeping an eye on the 3 ponies- Naynay (the mom) Neyney (the dad) and Ninayney (the adorable filly). Ninayney really liked nibbling on our hands, and tried to eat Diana's foot. It was deathly hot, but the car-washing people (my group) had the luxury of a hose, and as the afternoon progressed a nice wind sprang up.
Our bus rides are always wild, but Liam and Ben bought nerf guns at Target and preoccupied themselves on the ride back by shooting randomly around the bus -don't worry parents, there were no casualties! We had to go to Target so the girls could get basketball shorts or long dresses for working at Southwest Key, as well as long skirts and cardigans (you have to cover your ankles and knees!) for when we go to the Mosque tomorrow.
Everyone is excited to wash the day's work off in the pool (perfect for dibble) and have a nice big dinner!
