Day 2 at the Phoenix Center

It's now day 2 at the Phoenix Center in Dungannon! We arrived on Saturday afternoon
and everybody picked their bunks. We had a lovely barbeque and the coleslaw was a
huge hit! It was SO good. I hear it's on the menu for later this week, as well.
Last night everyone picked their secret buddies and got to know each other a little
better during ice breakers. It's exciting to see so many new faces here! The girls
room had a little bit of an air conditioning problem. It got very very cold! But
Scott has it under control now. We went to the falls today and had a great time. As
usual, the water was freezing but many people went in anyways. Most of the group
took a long and beautiful hike down from the falls. Tomorrow we head out to start
the job sites. Don't get worried parents, but we have a few roof painting jobs.
Tomorrow's blog will tell you about that. Now it's time for Compline and then bed.
Bye from the tiny town in Virginia!

After driving there by way of Kentucky, I appreciate even more where Dungannon is in relationship to Fairfax County. Enjoy the beauty of the place, guys, but don't let Ben drive the twisty roads! Signed, Ben's mom, Laura Winslow
