Today didn't start as the usual day, we were expecting to have car troubles, but luckily for us everything worked in our favor. The most important aspect though was Marlee and Anna cooking us breakfast. The meal they prepared was French Toast, cheese hash browns, and cinnamon rolls. After eating all these delicious carbs and waking up earlier, let me just say it was well worth it.
After everybody got done eating themselves in a food coma, we loaded into Blue Ivy and North West and headed to our first site of the day, Low Country Food Bank. Low and behold not even 10 minutes into working, our furry friend "Mickey Mouse" returned and paid us a visit by jumping out of a box that was being unloaded. A frenzy of screams would sum up the fiasco that occurred. Once the mouse was seen again, everyone was able to improve their basketball skills tremendously. WE are all surprised that nobody has gotten pelted by a can of green beans, but it is sure to come by time the week is over. Our supervisor Chris wasn't there to laugh and talk about us being track stars or dancers, because he was busy helping a high school group that was also there on a mission trip from Indianapolis. We missed his witty remarks, but we dealt with his coworkers beeping his horn at us just fine. Chris we want you to come back NOW!
After finishing up at the food bank, we proceeded to River Front Park to eat our lunches. We all crowded around one picnic table like one big happy family and feasted on our brown bag lunches. Once we got done eating everyone found a nice cozy spot whether in one of the cars or a bench in the park and took a nice nap. Oh but wait, Taryn took some rad pictures to show everyone once we get back to CoMo.
Following our nice lunch and nap in the sun, which is our first encountering of the sun since arriving in Charleston we went to our second site, WINGS. We were now refreshed and ready to deal with our hyper little humans. Today we got to better learn the prospective of kids and WINGS leader. It was a relief that we had finally started hitting our strides with where our roles are within WINGS for our week here. The kids in WINGS have some serious dance moves, to which we are trying learn as we type this blog from YouTube videos. Feel free to join along in the Dlow Shuffle, Part 2.
After coming home from hanging with some awesome little humans, we went to downtown Charleston for some souvenir shopping while waiting for a table for an amazing seafood dinner at Hyman's Seafood Restaurant. At the restaurant we ordered some raw oysters for the table, which some people did not enjoy as much as others, claiming they tasted as fishy as they smell. We all some awesome food, and Clint "the Vacuum" Shannon proceeded to clean up our leftovers and eat every fish in the sea. Literally EVERY FISH in the sea including: catfish, salmon, oysters, mussels, calamari, crab and probably some other stuff we missed. We then surprised Kayla with a "birthday" dessert. She had no idea the surprise was coming, mostly due to the fact that her birthday is in July. All in all, this was a wonderful ending to a wonderful hump day.
