Monday is done now. Well it is time for bed and the kids are supposed to be going to sleep but there are sure to be a few that whisper about their days of what could have been better and what was bad about it or what they thought was awesome and can't wait to do again.
  Groups went to all sorts of places today and did things from cooking and serving food to homeless people from the area to unloading over 100 mattresses and boxsprings.  Some pulled weeds and picked over 15lbs of tomatoes.  Another group went to an elderly ladies house and did some weeding and cleaning up around her yard.  Other groups went and helped with disabled children and adults and others still to get to know some older people better and play some bocee ball with them.  Adults and kids came back after our day of service around 3-330pm and some were wore out and sweaty and some  came back with sonic slushies.  l can personally speak about the kids from the group "wicked" who worked super hard today cooking doing dishes and they were the ones that had the privilege to unload the 100+ mattresses and boxsprings as the last part of their work day.  Reports from all adults came back with positive remarks about kids that did things they thought they were not good at like hanging out with little kids or making scrambled eggs or just talking to people they do not know.  
  Dinner was pasta with red and white sauces, garlic bread, salad and of course some water to drink.  After dinner we took our first side trip to Centennial Park in Atlanta and it was very cool to just walk around and see all the different memorials and such from the '96 Olympic games.  The kids occupied themselves with football, frisbee, hanging out, and some ice cream treats.   We spent a couple hrs at the park and then came back to our "homesite" for club time(which is our evening large group bible study time).  We split up into our family groups and ended the evening with a little free time and then to bed for the night. 
    Tomorrow will be the usual wake up about 645 and breakfast and send off for the day.




Goodnight from ATL
