We started today off right with some scrambled eggs, bacon and some French toast. This was prepared by Christophe, Jack, and Tim. Good work boys.
Today was the first day at the shelter. This morning we had the chance to meet all the kids that would be attending our summer camp. It was great to see all the familiar faces; Mamma Hall and Miss Stephanie (the head counselor) and all the progress the shelter had made in our absence. Right off the bat, the balls came out and we had a pick up game of football in efforts to get acquainted with all the children. Within the first five minutes, we knew we had a great group of kids and the start to a fantastic week here in Philadelphia! Throughout the day, there was more football, a lot of frisbee, but surprisingly not as many piggy-back rides as expected. We broke for lunch and had a terrific time at a nearby park!
We then headed back to assist with some housekeeping items. This included cleaning out the closet full of toys, games, balls, etc. from this year and years past. We also organized all of the donations we had received from our St. Anne's family! After this, we all headed to Target to pick up some supplies we needed for our upcoming days at the shelter!
For dinner, prepared by Ms. Kathryn, Ms. Isabelle, and Ms. Margaret, we had some chicken, fruit salad, and some chocolate covered fruit for dessert! Good work ladies. Later, we wrapped up the evening with compline and some announcements to conclude our day and send us off to bed! A few more days and a few more blog entries to come! GET EXCITED.

Keep up the good work! Wish I'd been there for dinner! Rest well tonight.
Sounds like fun! Just wait, Trey, the piggy back rides will come :-) Are you working with Bright Path, too?
